What's your fantasy? Well, if it was seeing Ludacris on stage at the Wisconsin State Fair, you're in luck – as the hip-hop star and "Fast X" actor will headline the Main Stage on Friday, Aug. 11.
The "Move B*tch," "How Low," "Rollout" and "Act a Fool" hitmaker should be familiar with Brew City, as the State Fair Main Stage performance will make his second Milwaukee show of the summer, previously serving as the opening act for Janet Jackson's Amp show last month.
Ludacris will be joined at the headlining concert by special guest opener Symba.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
