MINNEAPOLIS — Tuesday night’s the night you’ll be able to see Rod Stewart during the Minnesota State Fair in 2026.

The “Tonight’s the Night” and “Maggie May” hitmaker has confirmed a Sept. 1 gig at the fair grandstand. It will be his first time playing the Great Minnesota Get-Together in 42 years — and possibly his last Minnesota performance ever.

Stewart, 80, is calling his current concert trek the One Last Time Tour. He says he’s not planning to fully retire from the stage, but he plans to hold off on large-scale tours. That’s usually code for, “Come see me in Las Vegas.”

Tickets for the twice-inducted Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s grandstand return go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via eTix.com or by phone at 800-514-3849.

Stewart is the second concert so far confirmed for the Minnesota State Fair’s 2026 grandstand series, following last month’s announcement that Weird Al Yankovic will be there again Aug. 28.

Last seen in town at Xcel Energy Center in 2022, Stewart has been eschewing his old band the Faces and rockier material from early in his career on recent tours in favor of lighter, ‘80s-‘90s hits and pop standards. But he does usually find the time and ego to still squeeze in “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?”
