Jul 16 2025

Nelly is set to bring his signature sound to the Minnesota State Fair, performing at the Grandstand on Saturday, August 30, 2025. The announcement was made on Tuesday, confirming that the hip-hop star will take the stage at 7 p.m., joined by fellow artists Ja Rule, Mýa, and Ying Yang Twins.

Tickets for this highly anticipated event will be available starting Friday, with prices beginning at $54. This marks Nelly's debut performance at the Grandstand, where fans can expect to hear classics like "Country Grammar" and "Ride Wit Me."

In addition to Nelly's performance, the Grandstand lineup for the fair includes previously announced acts such as Meghan Trainor, Old Dominion, Melissa Etheridge, The Avett Brothers, and Def Leppard.

The Minnesota State Fair will take place from August 21 to September 1, 2025. Notably, ticket prices will see a slight increase this year, with an additional $2 added to the cost.

Last week, fair organizers unveiled a selection of new food offerings for 2025, featuring items like chicken-fried bacon fries and dill pickle iced tea, promising a unique culinary experience for attendees.
