Free music will be plentiful during the 2026 State Fair of Texas<\/a>‘ <\/strong>24-day run, September 25-October 18. The Fair has revealed its full lineup of music acts that will be playing on multiple stages around Fair Park this year.<\/p>\n

The Chevrolet Main Stage is where visitors will find the biggest acts playing during the fair, with over 30 singers and bands playing during the fair.<\/p>\n

Headliners include<\/a> Fort Worth-founded Toadies<\/strong>, along with Clint Black<\/strong>, Bowling for Soup<\/strong>, Kansas<\/strong>, Queensr\u00ffche<\/strong>, Deep Blue Something<\/strong>, Tripping Daisy<\/strong>, RaeLynn<\/strong>, Muscadine Bloodline<\/strong>, Gym Class Heroes<\/strong>, and more.<\/p>\n

While the lineup on the main stage offers a wide variety of acts from different genres, it won’t be the only option for visitors looking for a music break.<\/p>\n

The Bud Light Stage, near Cotton Bowl Stadium, will showcase local and regional talent, while the White Claw Spotlight Stage, located at the Grove on Nimitz, will feature a variety of artists from Dallas Music Office\u2019s roster of talent, all local to the Dallas music scene. <\/p>\n

In addition, the brand-new ZiegenBock Stage, located at the newly renovated<\/a> Old Mill Inn near Big Tex Circle, will provide a fun atmosphere for fairgoers to enjoy a live music experience in the shadow of Big Tex.<\/p>\n

The Fair is continuing its partnership with State Fair Records, the East Dallas-based label that programs and produces the Bud Light Stage and Old Mill Stage.<\/p>\n

“State Fair Records continues to raise the bar, selecting several up-and-coming and established Texas musicians who fit the mold of the most Texan place on Earth,” said Jason Hays, SVP of Brand Experience, in a statement.<\/p>\n

Each of the stages will feature at least one performance every day of the fair. That includes the 2026 Resident Artist, jazz musician Ken Ebo<\/strong>, who will perform multiple times with his jazz ensemble.<\/p>\n

Residents can get a taste of the live music scene even sooner at the pre-Fair party, State Fair Saddle Up<\/a>. Taking place at The Rustic Dallas on September 10, the fundraising event will feature headliner Cash Byers<\/strong>, along with Midway games, food and beverages, auction items, and exclusive perks for VIP ticket holders. <\/p>\n

Funds raised will support the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs.<\/p>\n
