We're two months away from the Minnesota State Fair (aka: the best time of the year) and they just announced their last Grandstand show for 2024!

A crazy fact about me: despite the fact that I'm a massive state fair fan, I've actually never been to a show at the Grandstand. I know, maybe that needs to change this year, because we've got some sweet acts on the way.

Opening for Jon Pardi will be another country singer, MacKenzie Porter. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 28th at 10 AM. Tickets start at $44 and go up to $88, which seems like an insane deal to me.

I feel like we've got a pretty good blend of options at the Grandstand this year. You've got a couple of country acts, a fun throwback/rap act, pop, comedy.

Do I still think other state fair have better Grandstand shows? Yes. But I think this year's lineup is pretty good! Is there any one of them in particular that you'd like to go see? If they weren't performing on a Tuesday night I'd want to see Ludacris and T-Pain!
