The Missouri State Fair offers tastes of rock, hip-hop and country on its Grandstand this year.
The state fair, held on the grounds 90 minutes east of Kansas City at 2503 W. 16th St. in Sedalia, announced its slate of concerts when it returns Aug. 13-23. Visitors will have to buy a fair admission ticket in addition to a concert ticket, which costs $12 through Tuesday, Aug. 12, and will cost $15 after.
Here’s a look at who’s coming to Sedalia this summer, and how much tickets cost for each artist. All shows begin at 7:30 p.m. unless stated otherwise:
