Minnesota State Fair organizers have yet to release any names on their list of 2011 performers (although if they could, I'm sure they would, since outdoor concerts sure have added appeal when announced in February). Two big names for KQ92 listeners, however, just confirmed they will be there on one night: Heart and Def Leppard will co-headline the grandstand on Aug. 26, a Friday. Def Leppard is saying tickets go on sale on its site next weekend, and there will also be a Citi cardholder pre-sale. In the meantime, let's start a debate: Which band do you think used more hairspray and makeup in the '80s? And which was the mushier, cheesier power ballad: "What About Love" or "Love Bites?"
