Rapper Yung Gravy is coming to Wisconsin State Fair’s Main Stage with Nicky Youre

After being a Summerfest MVP in 2023, Yung Gravy has his sights set on the Wisconsin State Fair in 2024.

The tongue-in-cheek rapper and University of Wisconsin-Madison alum will headline the Main Stage on Aug. 3, fair officials announced Wednesday.

Gravy headlined Summerfest’s Generac Power Stage last year — and then filled in at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater for a free show on July 6, after AJR cancelled its show because the band members and brothers’ father was ailing (he died in early July). AJR had been booked to fill in for Jimmy Buffett, who was ill and died Sept. 1.

Nicky Youre, a pop newcomer who had a big hit with “Sunroof” in 2022, will open for Gravy.

Tickets, priced at $50 to $60, will include fair general admission Aug. 3, and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Members of Friends of the Fair will have presale access.

Gravy is the eighth Main Stage concert, out of 11, revealed for the fair 2024.

Tickets also go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday for Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias on Aug. 1, the fair’s opening day; Casting Crowns on Aug. 5; and Riley Green on Aug. 7.

Tickets also are available for Kidz Bop (Aug. 6), Lauren Daigle (Aug. 9), Foreigner with Melissa Etheridge (Aug. 10), and the Happy Together tour, led by the Turtles, on closing day (Aug. 11).
