Instead, R&B and funk legend Eric ‘EQ’ Young – who is well known for his slap bass – will perform on the Golden 1 Stage at 8PM. Anyone who paid for Reserved Seats for tonight’s original lineup will be automatically refunded.
TLC’s concert management team released the following statement:

We wish to thank California native and R&B Funk legend Eric “E.Q.” Young for agreeing to step in on short notice to put on a great show for our visitors,” said Rick Pickering, Cal Expo General Manager and CEO.
“I’m so excited to play tonight at the California State Fair; it’s a dream come true!” said EQ, who is a California native from the Bay Area. “It will be a great show.”
