HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair announced it filled the last spot in the grandstand concert lineup.

Hanson, the trio of brothers whose ’90s hit “MMMBop” vaulted them to teenaged stardom, is coming to the Kansas State Fair. The Tulsa, Oklahoma-based pop rock band will close out the Nex-Tech Wireless Grandstand Concert Series on Sept. 14. Tickets go on sale at 8 a.m. this Friday.

The catchy 1997 hit “MMMBop” made Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson a household name. They were imprinted on hearts, minds — and yes, bedroom walls — across the globe. Their album, “Middle of Nowhere,” sold 10 million copies worldwide. “We are very excited to bring the Hanson brothers to the Nex-Tech Wireless Grandstand,” fair General Manager Robin Jennison said. “This is another great show for our concert series, and it will be a fun way to close out our nighttime events at the 2019 Kansas State Fair.” The fair is selling premium tickets for $55 in the Bud Light Party Pit – a standing-room-only area right in front of the grandstand stage. The grandstand’s center section is $30. All other tickets are $20.

Marketing Director Amy Bickel said the goal is to create a festive atmosphere that is affordable for all fairgoers. “We want this to be a concert where fans can come with family or have a reunion with friends,” Bickel said. “Many of the tickets are only $20, which includes the $7 gate admission through Aug. 11. It is an inexpensive way to see a great concert and spend a day at the Kansas State Fair.”

The group has had hits in recent years, too. “Anthem,” released in 2013, charted No. 22 on the Billboard 200, making it their eighth album to chart on the Top 40. A single from that album, “Get the Girl Back,” reached No. 39 on the Adult Pop Songs chart.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac will be 38, 36 and 33, respectively when they perform on the grandstand stage in September. Besides their beloved ’90s hits, the trio will perform other favorites from the 10 studio albums they have released in the past 25 years.
