The State Fair of Texas is synonymous with larger-than-life experiences, from its iconic Big Tex statue to its mind-blowing fried food creations. But music lovers, rejoice! This year, the fair is taking its entertainment factor a notch higher with a colossal 24-day music festival running alongside the fair’s festivities.
Announced earlier this week, the 2024 State Fair of Texas music lineup boasts an impressive variety of genres, ensuring there’s something for every musical taste bud. The centerpiece of this musical extravaganza will be the Chevrolet Main Stage. Here, fairgoers can catch legendary country music artist Jo Dee Messina belting out their favorite tunes. Social media darling Dasha, known for her viral hits, is also set to take the stage, bringing her infectious energy to the fairgrounds.
Texas music pride takes center stage with the inclusion of Bowling for Soup, the pop-punk band that rose to fame in the late 90s and early 2000s with hits like “The Rock and Roll Part of Me” and “1985.” But that’s not all! The Chevrolet Main Stage promises a continuous stream of top-tier talent throughout the fair’s run, with the full lineup yet to be revealed.
But wait, there’s more! The music doesn’t stop at the Chevrolet Main Stage. The Bud Light Stage, conveniently located near the fair’s mouthwatering food stalls, will showcase a diverse range of Texas acts throughout the day. This is your chance to discover up-and-coming local talents and hidden gems from the Lone Star State.
For those seeking a more relaxed musical experience, the Yuengling Flight Stage offers a perfect setting. Here, you can unwind with a glass of beer or wine while enjoying live music throughout the week. They’ll even be hosting a “Deep Fried Comedy” series on Friday nights, promising an evening of laughter alongside great tunes.
The best part? All these concerts are completely free with your fair admission! So, mark your calendars, grab your cowboy hats (or whatever your musical style dictates), and get ready to experience a musical journey unlike any other at the 2024 State Fair of Texas. With 24 days of nonstop music and entertainment, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
