Nelly will be taking the stage at the M&T Bank Grandstand at 7:30 p.m., Friday, July 21, during the Delaware State Fair.

A multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning rap superstar, entrepreneur, philanthropist and actor, Nelly has continually raised the bar for the entertainment industry since stepping on the scene in 2000 with his distinctive vocals and larger-than-life personality. His collaboration with Florida Georgia Line received Diamond status; he is only one of seven rappers to reach this honor. He is touring around the globe and recently was the first artist to play in Saudi Arabia with a mixed-gender/family crowd. He is the first hip hop artist to play with multiple symphonies nationwide and played himself in BET’s “Real Husbands of Hollywood” with Kevin Hart. 

Tickets go on sale at 12 p.m., Friday, Nov. 18, at delawarestatefair.com.
