ST. PAUL, Minn. — International superstar Becky G is set to take the stage at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand this summer.

The multitalented Latin performer will play the fair's opening night on Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday.

Becky G has earned acclaim from Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Times and others for hits like "Mamiii" and "Sin Pijama." She's been nominated for four Latin Grammys and was one of Coachella's headliners in 2023. She also sang the Academy Award-nominated song "The Fire Inside" from the movie "Flamin' Hot."

Though concert tickets are extra, fair organizers said admission to the Great Minnesota Get-Together itself won't increase in price this year.
