Who Is Playing At The 2026 Minnesota State Fair Grandstand?

Before you know it, the 2026 edition of the Great Minnesota Get-Together will be here!

Maybe that's slightly wishful thinking right this minute, but while we are months away from the 2026 Minnesota State Fair, we're already starting to get a look at some of the things to get us excited!

The 2026 Minnesota State Fair is scheduled to start on Thursday, August 27, and run through Monday, September 7, 2026.

Besides the food, one of the highlights for many fair attendees each year is the live entertainment. Every year, there are numerous free acts at various smaller stages around the fairgrounds. There is also a lineup of nightly headlining acts who take the Grandstand stage.

While it is early, the lineup for the 2026 Minnesota State Fair's Grandstand shows is already starting to take shape.

We're far from the entire lineup being announced quite yet, as they'll be announcing shows in the lead-up to the 2026 Minnesota State Fair, but here's a look at the shows that have been announced so far!

We'll keep updating this list as new acts are announced, so you can make your plans to check out a show (or a few) at the Grandstand this year.
