Minnesota State Fair Concerts: Amateur Night

Did you know that the Minnesota State Fair hosts an annual local talent competition during the Fair? They do. Usually it's at one of the smaller stages, but this year it's scheduled to be held at the State Fair Grandstand - quite a venue for these amateur acts! It actually would be a fun show to go to. I think it's free, and you could see the next big star to come out of Minnesota! Or at least have fun pretending to be an American Idol judge. It's going to be held Sunday, September 2nd at 8PM. So if you don't want to check out any of the other amazing Minnesota State Fair concerts that will be taking place at the Grandstand this year (or if you're just looking to save a little money), this is a great one to check out! Don't believe me that this will be a good show? Check out an awesome previous act:

Minneapolis Teens Want Justin Bieber Tickets

Justin Bieber is officially going on tour. And OFFICIALLY coming to the Twin Cities on Saturday, October 20th at the Target Center. You know that this show is going to be FILLED with screaming girls who want to be Bieber's girlfriend. SPeaking of which, apparently Bieber and long time girlfriend Selena Gomez recently broke up. Annnnd he's touring with Carly Rae Jepsen (of Call Me Maybe fame). Anyway, you know you'll love going to this show just because it's going to bring you back to your N*Sync and Backstreet Boys days. Or you know, your New Kids on the Block days if that was more your thing. To my own suprise, I can even name some of the Bieber fever song set: 1. Boyfriend (his newest song that starts out with a Ying Yang twins-esque rap) 2. Baby 3. Never Say Never ...and the only reason I know those off the top of my head is because they were played on the radio this morning when I heard about the concert. Regardless, they're catchy and are now stuck in my head. If you have a tweeny-teeny-bopper in your life, you know they're going to go crazy for Justin Bieber tickets. Your best bet is to bite the bullet now and secure the best seats on the market before they disappear - Bieber will sell out. I just know it.

Eric Church is TONIGHT!

Oh boy, ladies and gents. If you're a country music fan, then you probably already know that Eric Church will be taking the stage at the Target Center tonight for a once in a lifetime concert. I absolutely love this guy. Favorite songs that he sings are:

1. Hell on the Heart
2. Homeboy
3. Springsteen

I melt every time I hear Springsteen on the radio, to be honest. Obviously if you're a country music fan, you're heading to this concert. If you don't HAVE your Eric Church Tickets yet, then you probably should start looking at some...the show is in just a few hours!! And if you're sitting on the fence about whether or not you should be buying tickets for tonight's show...let this video swing your vote to YES:

Minnesota State Fair Grandstand

New shows have been added to the State Fair schedule! Check this out: 1. Pat Benetar and Journey are playing on September 1st at the Grandstand 2. Anita Baker will take the stage at the Grandstand on August 26th 3. Annnd suprise of all suprises, Rap/R&B artist Wiz Kalifa will be on the stage at the Grandstand on September 3rd. Interesting shows, and of the three I'm thinking that the odd child (Kalifa) will be the big seller. To be honest, you would never expect to see this kind of act at the Fair, but it'll draw in interesting crowd to the fair, that's for sure. And to be honest...that might be a GREAT day for people watching at the Minnesota Get Together.

Wicked Tickets for the Musical Theater Lover in Your Life

Okay okay okay. I know that it's technically not a concert. It's a play. But that doesn't mean that you can't get a little Broadway musical in your life! Especially when it's something as popular as the musical Wicked. Created in 2003, this awesome performance is the predecessor to The Wizard of Oz. It focuses around the relationship of two half sisters, Elphaba and Glenda. The original production actually featured Broadway greats Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in these two roles, respectively. Now generally, I don't go to musicals. At least, I don't generally go to the musicals that my parents would generally choose to go to. To be honest, I like funny features like Legally Blonde more than Evita. But this show is amazing. I'm so happy that my parents got me Wicked tickets for my birthday and absolutely insisted that I go see this show stopping performance. It gave me a much stronger appreciation for the theater.
