The temperatures are staying cold in Milwaukee, but the Wisconsin State Fair lineup just got a little hotter on Wednesday.

Boyz II Men, the four-time GRAMMY Award-winning R&B group, will make their return to the Wisconsin State Fair this summer. Fair officials announced Wednesday that the group will headline the newly-named Bank Five Nine Main Stage on Friday, August 1st.

Tickets for the show  go on sale this Friday, January 17th, at 10 a.m. through the Wisconsin State Fair website. Each ticket includes admission to the 2025 Wisconsin State Fair for the day of the show, provided they are purchased before entering the State Fair Park.

Boyz II Men are known for chart-topping hits such as “End of the Road,” “Motownphilly,” and “I’ll Make Love to You.” The announcement is the third headlining act to be revealed this week, alongside comedian Gabriel Iglesias and religious act We The Kingdom. Last November, Darius Rucker was also announced to play this year’s fair.

The Wisconsin State Fair will run from July 31st  to August 10th. For updates, visit the Wisconsin State Fair website.
