Tens of thousands of people filled the State Fairgrounds Wednesday night to see two of the most popular music acts right now: Justin Bieber and Lady Antebellum.

A sold out crowd came out to see the Justin Bieber show at the Grandstand. The concert was originally scheduled for Sunday night, but doctors said the teen super star needed rest because he was sick.

Some lucky fans were able to get last minute tickets because of the schedule change. Fans said it was a dream come true to see Bieber in person.

Thousands also came out to Chevy Court to listen to Lady Antebellum. The 2010 Grammy Award winning country band packed them in, playing hits like "Need You Now" and "American Honey."

The two concerts helped bring up the attendance record for this day last year. 97,254 people came to the Fairgrounds Wednesday, up from 37,806 last year.
