The Champions of Hip-Hop
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and armed with a prestigious GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award, Public Enemy are the undisputed, original champions of political hip-hop.
With legendary, platinum-selling albums like It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back and the iconic, culture-shifting anti-establishment anthem “Fight The Power,” this group didn’t just soundtrack a movement, they created an absolute revolution.
Decades after first stepping onto the scene, Chuck D and DJ Lord continue to bring an unmovable state of mind and heart to stages across the globe. Known worldwide for their fierce eloquence and an unwavering willingness to challenge institutional injustices, their live performance is an unprecedented force of nature you have to see to believe.

Now, these absolute legends are bringing their historic, rebellious energy straight to the Arizona State Fair for a one-night-only event. Whether you’ve been a fan since day one or want to experience a foundational piece of music history live, this is the show of the season.
