Nostalgic boomers, hipster millennials and fancily dressed toddlers can all find something to enjoy in the batch of three grandstand concerts announced Tuesday by Minnesota State Fair organizers.
Mike Love's Beach Boys will perform with Motown legends the Temptations and '70s groovers Tower of Power on Monday, Aug. 29. Love and Bruce Johnston remain the only heyday-era Beach Boys still on tour in the group.
