Latina music star Becky G will kick off 2024′s Minnesota State Fair grandstand series

The second-to-last headliner announced for the 2024 the Minnesota State Fair grandstand lineup will be the first out of the gate — and only the second performer from the Latin music world to headline the series in more than a decade.

"Mamiii"-singing pop star and actress Becky G will kick off the grandstand series on Thursday, Aug. 22, fair officials confirmed Tuesday. Tickets for her show will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. priced $44-$81 via eTix.com or 800-514-3849. No opening act has been announced.

The 26-year-old Southern Californian singer born Becky Gomez has balanced her music career with acting in recent years, including movie roles in 2023′s "Blue Beetle" and 2017′s "Power Rangers." She returned to the road after a long hiatus in 2023 following the success of her second album, "Esquemas." Her career first took off in her mid-teens with such hits as "Shower," "Mayores" and "Can't Get Enough," the latter a collaboration with Pitbull.

Pitbull was the only other Latino music star to headline the State Fair grandstand over the past decade.
