Puyallup’s getting loud this September. The Washington State Fair has packed its Columbia Bank Grandstand schedule with a mix of hip-hop royalty, comedy legend, Grammy-winning piano firepower, and country chart-toppers: “Weird Al” Yankovic, Little Big Town, Jon Batiste, and Ice Cube are all on the bill. Early listings show tickets for these marquee nights starting in the mid-$50s to high-$60s range.
Who Is Playing And When
According to the Washington State Fair, Weird Al Yankovic is set for Sept. 5, Little Big Town with Ingrid Andress is locked in for Sept. 6, Jon Batiste takes the stage on Sept. 18, and Ice Cube closes out that run on Sept. 19. Most of the headline shows are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
The Columbia Bank Grandstand will serve as the main concert venue for the fair, and the fair’s concert series page lists several other acts slotted throughout the month for fans who like to plan every night in advance.
Tickets, Prices And Fair Dates
As reported by The News Tribune, ticket prices currently start at $56.50 for Ice Cube and $68.50 for Weird Al, Little Big Town, and Jon Batiste. The paper also notes that the Washington State Fair runs Sept. 4 6 7, with the fair closed on Tuesdays and Sept. 9, and that organizers may add more acts as the season gets closer.
What To Expect At The Grandstand
According to the Washington State Fair, doors typically open 60 minutes before the 7:30 p.m. start time, with Ice Cube’s listing showing doors at 6:30 p.m. The event details note that a concert ticket includes same-day fair admission and that tickets are non-refundable, with shows held rain or shine.
Several headlining nights also offer $75 pre-show party upgrades and limited VIP packages for those who want to turn their concert into a full-on fair-night experience.
Where To Buy And Seat Info
Ticket listings and seating charts for the Columbia Bank Grandstand are available on Ticketmaster, while the fair’s own pages emphasize that verified tickets are sold only through the fair’s box office and official site. If you are headed to Puyallup for one of these shows, it is worth comparing seating maps and buyer fees and considering a direct purchase through the fair to avoid third-party risks.
Will-call and box office pickup are handled at the Gold Gate box office on event days, which is where you will want to head if you are grabbing tickets in person or sorting out any last-minute issues.
Plan ahead, because concerts tend to fill quickly when the fair brings in this level of talent, and more shows could still pop up on the calendar in the coming weeks. Fans can sign up for the Washington State Fair e-list or keep an eye on the fair’s website for the latest lineup changes and ticket updates.
