Minnesota State Fair Concert Backstreet Boys

The Minnesota State fair leaked out a second concert that is scheduled at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand in 2008. The infamous Backstreet Boys are set to play the Grandstand at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 23. I can already hear the screaming tween girls. The state fair should feel privileged to have BSB on the docket since they haven’t announced very many American tour dates. Currently, the Backstreet Boys are touring in Japan, Australia and Europe as part of the Unbreakable tour.

The Backstreet Boys most recent single is “Inconsolable” which you may heard a few times on KDWB, but it wasn’t a real chart topper. It will be interesting to see what kind of ticket demand the Backstreet Boys will bring.

The 2008 Minnesota State Fair runs from August 21st through Labor Day, September 1st.

Brad Paisley show at Minnesota State Fair

There is finally some Minnesota State fair news to report! The Brad Paisley concert has announced it’s opening acts. Opening for Brad Paisley are “Stealing Cinderella” artist Chuck Wicks, Julianne Hough who won the past two seasons of "Dancing with the Stars" and singer-songwriter Jewel.

The show is sure to be a lot of fun. I already have my Brad Paisley tickets, but now one of my friends wants to go. I just checked on ticketmaster and the best pair of tickets is in grandstand section L, row 31! Woah – that is far back. Brad Paisley and friends would look like the size of “Ticks.” Perhaps I am a concert snob, but I am willing to pay more money if I can sit closer and so will my friend. I see Ticket King has Minnesota State Fair Tickets and their Brad Paisley Tickets are running about $200, but you are soooo much closer. This is going to be a hot state fair show, I am not sure if I should tell my friend to wait to buy tickets or not. I bet it sells out and that will only drive the ticket king prices higher.

Minnesota State Fair in a lull

The Minnesota State fair news bulletins are mighty scarce the last few weeks, but I know if you don’t write in your blogs enough blogger penalizes you so I thought I better write something! Like...it’s finally March and that means spring which means we are one season closer to summer which means Minnesota State Fair time! I can smell the Minnesota State Fair cheese curds already – yummy!
