Illinois State Fair Confirms Additional Grandstand Entertainment
from: agr.state.il.us
Natasha Bedingfield and JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS are the latest artists to announce 2008 Illinois State Fair appearances
SPRINGFIELD - British pop star Natasha Bedingfield and American female rock pioneer JOAN JETT have joined the stellar Grandstand entertainment lineup that has been assembled for the 2008 Illinois State Fair, State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick announced today.
The 26-year-old Bedingfield, who has sold more than 10 million singles and albums worldwide, will perform Saturday, Aug. 16, with "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens. She is best known in the United States for her chart-topping hit "Unwritten," which in 2006 was the most played song on mainstream American radio.
Jett, who has recorded nine Top 40 hits in her illustrious career, including the rock anthem "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," will open for Huey Lewis and the News Sunday, Aug. 10. She and her band, the BLACKHEARTS, have been performing since the early 1980s and have eight platinum and gold albums to their credit. In 2003, Rolling Stone named Jett one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all-time.
"These two artists are a great compliment to our 2008 State Fair concerts," Bliefnick said. "They finalize an already superstar line-up."
Both concerts will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased either on the internet at Ticketmaster.com, by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-827-8927 or visiting any Ticketmaster outlet. Beginning Saturday, June 7, at 10 a.m., tickets for the shows also can be purchased on the fairgrounds at the Grandstand box office. Printable order forms are posted on the Illinois State Fair website at www.illinoisstatefair.info.
All adults and children three years of age and older must have a ticket for Grandstand concerts and events. All sales are final. The fair does not provide refunds or exchanges on ticket purchases.
