Fresh from playing a post-Twins game concert Friday night at Target Field, ’00s hitmaker Nelly was announced as headliner for the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on Aug. 30. Tickets are priced from $121.75 to $54 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Etix or by calling 800-514-3849. Ja Rule, Mya and Ying Yang Twins are also on the bill.

Sometimes when you try to please everyone, you don’t please anyone. The Minnesota State Fair’s talent bookers have learned that lesson well over the years, and this year might be a shining example of it.
