Lineup of concerts at the 2023 State Fair of Texas is set. Here are headliners to watch
CeeLo Green, Lonestar and Bowling for Soup are just some of the music acts coming to the this year’s State Fair of Texas.
It’s nearly time to pack the car and head to Dallas for the 137th edition of the fair from Sept. 29 to Oct. 22. The 24 consecutive days of fun are all held at Fair Park at 3809 Grand Ave.
Three stages are setup at the fair for live music: Chevrolet, Bud Light and Yuengling Flight.
The Chevrolet stage is for the headlining and regional acts located next to the craft pavilion near the Hall of State. The Bud Light stage is for local and regional talent at the Cotton Bowl Plaza, while Yuengling is for local musicians and comedy shows outside the Go Texas pavilion.
A list of the local musicians playing at the fair can be found here. Here’s what we know about the headlining acts performing at the Chevrolet Main Stage:
