The State Fair of Texas announced its FREE music lineup for this year’s Fair with an array of different kinds of live music – country to R&B, Norteño to electro-pop.
The free concerts will take the stage during all 24 days of the 2023 State Fair of Texas, all included with their admission ticket.
“Get ready to sing and dance your heart out throughout the fairgrounds with three music venues, and 90-plus artists live at the State Fair of Texas.”
The CHEVROLET MAIN STAGE is an outdoor venue with a huge festival-type stage and experience, as well as an ADA-compliant area for guests needing special assistance. Featuring headlining and regional acts, the Chevrolet Main Stage is located next to the Craft Pavilion, near the Hall of State.
In addition to the Chevrolet Main Stage, live music can be found across the grounds. The BUD LIGHT STAGE, located in the heart of Cotton Bowl Plaza, will showcase local and regional talent all 24 days of the Fair, just steps away from all your fried food favorites. The YUENGLING FLIGHT STAGE, located outside the Go Texan Pavilion, will feature a Friday night comedy series, titled “Deep Fried Comedy,” along with live music throughout the week where you can sit back and unwind with a glass of wine or beer.
With performances from many notable artists, see below for the full live music schedule that will be playing throughout the fairgrounds at the Fair. Attend this Texas-sized musical festival at the most Texan place on Earth, with performances sure to knock your cowboy boots off.
The 2023 State Fair of Texas runs Friday, September 29, through Sunday, October 22. Season passes are now on sale at BigTex.com/Tickets.
