Pop music star Jason Derulo performs at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup on Sept 26, part of the Columbia Bank Concert Series.

Tickets for the concert will go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 11. Tickets include Fair gate admission. Purchase tickets at www.thefair.com/tickets or by phone at 888-559-FAIR (3247) daily, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tickets also can be purchased in person at the fair’s box office at 9th Avenue Southwest and Meridian Street on Saturdays, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and a $2 per ticket service fee will be charged for on-site purchases.

Having sold more than 45 million records worldwide, over 1.5 billion views on YouTube, and nine Top 10 U.S. radio singles in the Top 40 format, Derulo has made a name for himself in the pop music industry. Singles “Want to Want Me” and “Talk Dirty” have brought this singer-songwriter a huge fan base. His talent doesn’t stop there, since Jason is a returning judge in Season 12 on FOX-TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance.”

In his short five-year career, Derulo has proven to be a contender with pop music’s biggest hitters, and his rise to fame isn’t slowing down yet. Jason’s latest single “Talk Dirty” (ft. 2 Chainz) is his most successful track to date, having sold more than five million singles throughout the world, and has garnered more than 200 million views on YouTube and climbing.

Led by early champions internationally, the song took off overseas quickly becoming a No. 1 hit in the UK, Germany, Australia, France, Belgium and New Zealand before taking over the U.S. radio charts in January 2014.
