Darius Rucker, Rascal Flatts to kick off the Delaware State Fair

The Delaware State Fair gets underway this week, moving into the weekend with the Craft Beer Festival followed by performers Darius Rucker, Gabriel Iglesias, Rascal Flatts and many others. New Politics is joining 311 in Philadelphia for a Friday night Festival Pier performance. The XPoNential Music Festival is slated to begin with performances at both Wiggins Park and the BB&T Pavilion. Comedian Jeff Dunham brings his hilarious ventriloquism skills to the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City. Kendrick Lamar headlines this week's hip-hop shows with a performance at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers return to play a nearly sold-out show at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore.
