Hairball's Minnesota State Fair Concert Is Free With Fair Admissi

FREE! Free is good and a lot more affordable than not free. And when there is a show that was supposed to happen, but due to uncontrollable circumstances it gets cancelled, it's great to have something replacing it with a free show!

ROD STEWART HAD TO CANCEL DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES & A ROUTINE PROCEDURE

Even though it's a bummer that Rod Stewart had to cancel his tour, this replacement does not suck. If you want to live some nostalgia, this is going to be your night. The Minnesota State Fair has announced that the replacement for Rod Stewart with be Hairball with Slave Raider. If you were around the area anytime from the mid 80s through the early 2000s and hung out at the Press Bar and Parlor (RIP) you can live some of those times again!

Just Announced! Hairball with special guest Slave Raider will appear as a FREE Grandstand Concert on Sept. 1! This show replaces the previously scheduled Rod Stewart show.

Join us Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 7 p.m. Seating is general admission and the venue will open at 6 p.m. This concert is FREE with fair admission!

The 2026 Grandstand Concert Series is sponsored by Sleep Number.

THIS SHOW IS FREE - MAKE SURE TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY IF WANTING TO SEE THE SHOW

The biggest thing here that you probably should pay attention to is the fact that it's general admission. That means first come, first served. So, if you want to be at this show, probably best to show up WAY before the doors open. Any time something is free, usually it fills up fairly quickly.

If you are planning on going to the fair on September 1st, which is a week from today, get there early, enjoy the fair, do all the things and make sure to head over to the Grandstand in plenty of time to get in.
