Just Announced State Fair rock roster grows

Vittorio Zunino Celotto

The Minnesota State Fair is shaping up to be epic this year—as if it isn’t always epic: The gentle smell of lamb feces lingers in the morning air, as the greater Midwest converges upon the intersection of Snelling and Midway, clamoring for uncanny stick-bound provisions and caricatured portraits of their boozy, batter-engorged bodies. It. Will. Be. Glorious.

And if you thought it couldn’t get more epic than Def Leppard, Toby Keith, and The Happy Together Tour baby boomer love-fest-on-wheels (come on, Grandstand mud pit!), think again. As of today, the fair roster now includes Mr. J-Lo himself, Marc Anthony, on Sept 1st; a Train/Maroon 5 twofer on Sept. 5th; and (wait for it ...) Steely Dan on August 30th, with special guest Sam Yahel.

Can you just see it? It’ll be all...
