Jason Aldean State Fair Concert Tickets selling fast

Album Cover Shot of Jason Aldean
Hit Country Star Jason Aldean will be performing at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand tomorrow August 28th at 7:30 with special guest the Eli Young Band. Jason Aldean, who has been a break out star since he stepped onto the country scene as a teenager, will be performing new hits like "Big Green Tractor" and hopefully some of his older material like "Amarillo Sky". Performing with Jason Aldean is the Eli Young Band who is famous for "When it Rains" and "Always the Love Songs" will be playing hits off of their nationally released debut album, Jet Black & Jealous.


This is one show NOT to miss at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand, but tickets are going fast so if you plan on seeing Jason perform, find tickets now! I did some looking and online ticket brokerages still have some but not many and I wouldn't rely solely on the Grandstand Box Office, they are known for selling out fast!

O.A.R. and special Guests to appear at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand


In the late 1990’s acoustic soft rock and catchy lyrics were the hottest thing… and O.A.R. a five-man band from Ohio capitalized on the trend and their talent. With a plethora of hits and lots of high selling albums over a decade later, Of A Revolution is still growing strong and continues to gather new fans every day.


O.A.R. will be playing at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on Wednesday September 2nd at 6:00 p.m. with special guests Slightly Stoopid and Brett Dennen. This show is going to be a great one, currently O.A.R. is touring old hits like “A Crazy Game of Poker” and “Love and Memories” along with new hits like “Shattered” and “This Town” off of the band’s sixth studio album “All Sides”. Don’t miss this concert!

Kelly Clarkson MN State Fair Concert


Weather you were an American Idol fan from the beginning or you jumped on the Kelly Bandwagon after her Idol success, unless you consciously avoid music you have head one of this super-stars songs. From her original hit “A moment like this” to her second album success with “Breakaway” and “Miss Independent” Kelly has proven over and over again that she was not just a TV one-hit wonder, the pop-star from Burleson, Texas has true talent. Kelly Clarkson will be performing all of her old hits along with her new material at the Minnesota State Fair in the Grandstand on Sunday August 30th at 7:30.


Performing with Kelly is music newcomer Eric Hutchison. Hutchison debuted in 2007 and blew up recently with his hit “Rock and Roll”. Perhaps this tour is a precursor to a Clarkson-Hutchison duet? They at least have a catchy name thing going for them! Tickets are still available, but my guess is they will go fast as the fair gets closer so buy them soon if you plan on catching this great show!
