Tim McGraw has been added to the Illinois State Fair grandstand concert lineup, organizers announced Tuesday.
The country music star and three-time Grammy winner is slated to perform with Landon Parker at the fair on Aug. 17, with tickets going on sale Friday.
The announcement marks the latest headliner to be added to the lineup for this summer’s fair.
Earlier this month, the Illinois State Fair announced Nelly, Ashanti and Ja Rule had been added to the list.
This year’s Illinois State Fair Grandstand concert series also already features artists like REO Speedwagon, Maren Morris, Old Dominion and Alter Bridge with Mammoth WVH.
Tickets to the earlier-announced performances officially went on sale to the general public last month on the Ticketmaster website.
“We are excited to continue the tradition of bringing multiple genres of music to our grandstand,” said Illinois State Fair Manager Rebecca Clark in a statement. “Families shouldn’t have to break the bank to see one of our amazing shows and I think fairgoers will once again see we are bringing in top talent at affordable ticket prices.”
The 2023 Illinois State Fair runs from Aug. 10 through Aug. 20 in Springfield.
