PHOENIX — Rapper Snoop Dogg, shock rocker Marilyn Manson and Tempe alt rockers Gin Blossoms highlight a diverse lineup announced Monday for the 2017 Arizona State Fair concerts.

The concert series at Veterans Memorial Coliseum was to open Oct. 6 with country singer Gary Allen at 7 p.m.

Snoop Dogg was scheduled to play Oct. 21. The sometimes actor and friend of Martha Stewart has been making music since 1992.

The polarizing Manson was set to play the fair Oct. 26.

Local favorites the Gin Blossoms, whose jangly pop put their hometown on the music map in the early 1990s, take the stage Oct. 14.

Reserved tickets go on sale July 29. General admission to a show is free with a ticket to the fair.

The fair runs through Oct. 29. The concerts end Oct. 28 with Old School Jam, featuring the Sugar Hill Gang, Club Nouveau and the Dazz Band.

You don't go for the concerts, you go to people watch. Saturday night, grab a couple of beers, piggly fries, something fried, or on a stick and a corndog and marvel at all of the head and neck tats.
I like to see if I can spot a jersey from all of the NFL teams and the 5squared women in way to short skirts and high heels.
A great time can be had by all. Lol.
I agree, they really do need to find a new location for the fair.
