Who Is Playing At The 2026 Wisconsin State Fair Main Stage? Here’s Everyone Announced

The 2026 Wisconsin State Fair will be here before you know it, and fair organizers have been hard at work making announcements of things for people to look forward to at this year's event.

This year's event is the 175th Wisconsin State Fair, scheduled to start on Thursday, August 6, 2026, and runs through Sunday, August 16, 2026, at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in West Allis, Wisconsin.

Midway through January, organizers started dropping a flurry of announcements for who would be headlining at the fair's big live music venue, the Bank Five Nine Main Stage.

Every year, the fair has nightly performances on the schedule through the duration of the fair, spanning the spectrum of live entertainment. Organizers aim to cover a variety of genres, from rock to country music, hip-hop to contemporary Christian music, and beyond.
