Musician and rapper Ludacris is among the headliners announced for this summer's Wisconsin State Fair.
Organizers announced the addition early Tuesday morning, saying the three-time Grammy Award winner will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 11.
Tickets will go on sale Friday on WiStateFair.com.
Originally born in Champaign, Illinois, Ludacris will be making his return to the Midwest for a performance on the fair’s main stage. While Ludacris has not released a full album since 2015, he has released and been featured on various songs since.
The concert marks one of his many performances this year and will follow his role as a special guest on Janet Jackson’s “Together Again” tour.
Sponsored by USCellular, the fair will take place Aug. 3 – 13 in West Allis, Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee suburb is home to the Wisconsin State Fair Park and offers a variety of games, rides, food, shopping and other activities – including a headline performance from the “Money Maker” and “Act a Fool” singer.
