The 2026 Wisconsin State Fair is scheduled for August 6 through August 16. Before the fair kicks off later this year, we'll get a full lineup of live entertainment announced for the Main Stage at the historic Milwaukee Mile Speedway.

Each year, the fair books nationally-touring acts to headline each night of the Wisconsin State Fair. As always, fair organizers aim to cover a broad spectrum of different genres of music, and the first act announced for 2026 covers the pop/rock part of the spectrum.

While The All-American Rejects have been confirmed and announced for Thursday, August 13, at the Wisconsin State Fair, organizers say they will be announcing a "special guest" to go along with AAR as the show date gets closer.

Tickets for The All-American Rejects at the Wisconsin State Fair go on sale on Friday, January 16, starting at 10 am via the Wisconsin State Fair website. Tickets range from $65 to $85 and include admission to the fair for the day of the show.
