From established music legends to budding local artists, plenty of acts come through to perform at the Minnesota State Fair each year. Some on one of the many scattered stages within the fairgrounds, and some to play on the massive Grandstand.

The Current will be taking part in multiple events during the fair including The Current’s Music-on-a-Stick and Carbon Sound’s Producer Showdown. Find more events here.

Find the MPR booth in its usual spot, near the corner of Judson and Nelson, where you can gear up on The Current Merchandise and catch all the cool acts!
