A huge star has just been added to the grandstand lineup for the Minnesota State Fair 2024. Honestly, he's such a big artist I'm a little surprised that he's not performing on a Friday or Saturday night.

I'll give you some clues and see if you can guess who it is.

It's a guy, he sings, he's married to another very famous singer (and they didn't get married that long ago, actually), and not only is he metaphorically a huge star he's also literally a huge star. He's 6' 5", that's pretty dang tall.

So far, no concerts have been announced yet for the final Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the fair. I would imagine some big artists are coming for those dates but not the artist announced today. He'll be performing on the first Sunday of the fair.

Blake Shelton Announced for Minnesota State Fair

Did you guess Blake Shelton earlier? Because if you did, you're correct!

Blake Shelton will be coming to the Great Minnesota Get-Together. He'll be taking the Grandstand stage on Sunday, August 25th at 7 PM.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 22nd at 10 AM and they're going for between $77 and $207.

I'm very excited to see Blake added to the lineup, and I'm also excited to see who else the state fair has up their sleeve for this year.
