Click HERE to purchase advance tickets for select Aquarium shows. The Aquarium, located at 226 Broadway in the upstairs of Dempsey's Public House, is a venue located in downtown Fargo, North Dakota. It opened in March 2006 to host primarily touring, independent and original artists in the mold of the now defunct Ralph's Corner. The Aquarium is only open when there is shows or events so watch the calenda.r It is a bar so most shows will be 21 although occasionally there will be some bigger all-ages shows. DM Cooperative (Chris Hennen) books the majority of the shows. If you want these bands to continue to come to the area, please support the Aquarium. When we don't have a show booked, the Aquarium is available for private parties. Bands who have already played the Aquarium include Stars, the Morning Benders, the Thermals, Surfer Blood, Bonnie Prince Billy, Josh Ritter, Mochipet, Signal Path, That One Guy, Propa Tingz, Russian Circles, Dale Watson, Captured by Robots, Pelican, Wavves, Titus Andronicus, Vivian Girls, Japandroids, The Spits, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffitti, The Middle East, Deerhoof, David Bazan, Portugal.
