Hip Hop Legends To Play Minnesota State Fair Grandstand In 2025

The Minnesota State Fair has announced another Grandstand act for 2025. Local hip-hop legends Atmosphere will take the stage on Saturday, August 23rd.

Joining Slug and friends on the bill are California's Cypress Hill and The Pharcyde, along with Chicago's Lupe Fiasco and the local DJ Abilities.

Atmosphere, featuring rapper Slug and DJ Ant, formed in 1996 and has since released 13 studio albums and several EPs/mixtapes. Six of their albums made the top 100 of the Billboard Hot 200 album chart.

Cypress Hill formed in 1988 and has been on the road ever since. With over 20 million albums sold to date, Cypress Hill has performed at nearly every venue in Minnesota... including Waite Park's The Ledge Amphitheater in 2024.

The Pharcyde's debut album 'Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde' is considered an all-time hip-hop classic and the group has been steadily touring despite not having released an album since 2004.

Tickets for the show go on sale Friday starting at $51.50 and go up to $86.75 for pit/GA seating.
