Family friendly Minnesota State Fair Grandstand show to pay tribute to Taylor Swift
Tickets are priced from $19.25 to $10 and go on sale Friday.
The Rock and Roll Playhouse, which bills itself as “the largest national kid-friendly live concert series,” will play the music of Taylor Swift during two shows Sept. 1 at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand.
Tickets are priced from $19.25 to $10 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Etix or by calling 800-514-3849.
The New York-based Rock and Roll Playhouse presents live concerts aimed at families with children ages 10 and under. The interactive shows include games, movement and “an opportunity to rock out in an effort to educate children and encourage them to explore their creativity.” It has hosted more than 1,000 concerts for hundreds of thousands of kids and families across the country, “filling the void for shared musical experiences between parents and children.”
The concert will also feature Bri and the Anti-Heroes, a band of six friends who came together in the spring of 2023 to pay tribute to Taylor Swift. Led by vocalist and North Dakota native Brianna Helbling, the group has sold out every show they’ve played, including First Avenue.
The Minnesota State Fair runs from Aug. 21 through Sept. 1. The Rock and Roll Playhouse joins the previously announced headliners Old Dominion on Aug. 21, Meghan Trainor on Aug. 22, Atmosphere on Aug. 23, the joint bill of Melissa Etheridge and Indigo Girls on Aug. 24, the Happy Together Tour on Aug. 25, Def Leppard on Aug. 26, Hank Williams Jr. on Aug. 27, the Steve Miller Band on Aug. 28 and the Avett Brothers on Aug. 29.
The Grandstand has one concert remaining, on Aug. 30, to announce for the season.
