Jelly Roll Ignites the North Dakota State Fair Stage with Unforgettable Sold-Out Show
MINOT, N.D. – July 21, 2025 – The North Dakota State Fair crowd was on its feet Sunday night as Jelly Roll delivered a powerhouse performance to a sold-out audience of 18,000 fans, marking his second appearance at the Fair and a night that won’t soon be forgotten.
From the moment he stepped on stage, the energy was electric. Jelly Roll’s connection with the crowd was deep as he read signs held by fans, engaged in heartfelt banter, and spoke directly to the thousands in attendance. The audience spanned generations, young children attending with their parents, longtime fans, and new ones alike, all united by the music and the moment.
“Jelly Roll is one of those artists who brings people together,” said North Dakota State Fair Manager Craig Rudland. “You could feel the connection between him and the crowd. It was an incredible night and we’re so proud to have hosted him again.”
The show reached new heights with a high-impact production, complete with pyrotechnics during crowd favorites like Fire, and a grand finale that lit up the night sky with a stunning fireworks display.
Jelly Roll told the audience it was his second time at the Fair and that he’d come back anytime he was asked—a sentiment that brought the crowd to an even louder roar.
With another sold-out show and a performance that left a lasting impression on thousands, the Fair continues its tradition of delivering top-tier entertainment for all ages.
And the fun isn’t over yet! With several days still to go, fairgoers can look forward to thrilling rodeo action and more Grandstand concerts, including Turn Up ND! and Limp Bizkit.
