How hot it will be May 2 remains to be seen, but when Nelly comes to headline the fourth annual Tequila Fest, he may let you know — as well as what to do about the heat.
The Fresno Grizzlies announced Tuesday that the popular 2000s rapper will headline the event at Chukchansi Park, showcasing what can be done when you distill agave.
In addition to the Grammy-award winning artist, there will be a Tequila Tastery, multiple food trucks, and more at the event, according to a news release from the host, the Fresno Grizzlies.
“With a headliner as iconic as Nelly, we believe this year’s entertainment is second-to-none,” said Derek Franks, president of the Grizzlies. “Nelly’s energy, catalog, and crossover appeal make him a perfect fit for Tequila Fest. Having a global superstar take the stage on May 2 elevates this event to a whole new level and further cements Tequila Fest as one of the premier annual concerts in the Central Valley.”

Tickets are available now for the event that was awarded the Best Non-Gameday Event in 2023 by Minor League Baseball. Past headliners included Ludacris, T-Pain, Busta Rhymes, T.I., and Lil Jon.
The Texas-born rapper drew national attention with his debut album “Country Grammar,” featuring songs “E.I.” and “Ride Wit Me.” The Diamond-certified album topped the Billboard 200 chart for five consecutive weeks in 2000.
April 7 will be opening day for the Fresno Grizzlies with the promotional calendar coming out soon, said a spokesperson. Just be sure to wear your Air Force Ones.
