North Carolina bluegrass group the Avett Brothers will headline the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand on Sept. 5 with support from the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Tickets are $45 and $35 and will go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday via etix.com, by phone at 800-514-3849 and in person at the State Fair’s box office.

The show is billed as the Current’s annual Music On-a-Stick concert. Started in 2012, the series previously offered a half-dozen or so Minnesota acts each year, including the Jayhawks, the Suburbs, P.O.S., Brother Ali, Cloud Cult and Bob Mould. Even though the Avett Brothers aren’t from here, the Current was one of the first Twin Cities radio stations to spin the group, who went on to play the Basilica Block Party and their own outdoor mini-festival at Somerset (Wis.) Amphitheater.

After spending most of the ’00s recording for an indie label and building a following through heavy touring, the Avett Brothers signed to mega producer Rick Rubin’s American Recordings in 2009. Rubin has overseen the band’s trio of albums for his label, and is also behind the board for their next record, due out late this year or in early 2016.

The concert is the final one announced for this summer’s Grandstand live music schedule. Several shows, including Def Leppard and Styx (Aug. 27) and Carrie Underwood (Aug. 29), are already sold out. The Minnesota State Fair runs Aug. 27 through Sept. 7. — Ross Raihala
