Meghan Trainor Returns to Minnesota State Fair After Decade-long Hiatus

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. — Pop star Meghan Trainor will perform at the 2025 Minnesota State Fair on August 22, marking her return to the grandstand after a decade-long break due to a vocal cord injury.

Trainor, known for her hit song “All About That Bass,” canceled her 2015 show at the fair when her vocal cords hemorrhaged. This concert will celebrate her long-awaited comeback to the Minnesota State Fair.

Tickets for the concert, part of the fair’s grandstand series, will be available starting April 25 at 10 a.m. Prices range from $56 to $91 for reserved seating, while Party Deck tickets will be priced from $112 to $126.

Since winning a Grammy for Best New Artist in 2016, Trainor has focused more on television and writing than live performances. She has appeared in shows like “Top Chef Family Style” and authored a memoir titled “Dear Future Mama,” reflecting on her experiences as a mother.

With Trainor’s announcement, the lineup for the 2025 Minnesota State Fair is starting to fill up. Other acts scheduled for the fair include Atmosphere & Friends, Melissa Etheridge, and Def Leppard, among others.

Trainor’s fans are excited to see her return to the stage, with tickets expected to sell quickly as the fair draws near.
