SPRINGFIELD, IL (Chambana Today) – Global country superstar Brad Paisley will be performing at the Illinois State Fair for the first time since 2017.
Paisley will be performing on the Illinois Lottery Grandstand Stage on Thursday, August 14. He has three GRAMMYs, two American Music Awards, 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, and 14 Country Music Association Awards, including a highly coveted Entertainer of the Year honor and recognition as the most successful CMA Award co-host in history.
“Three-peat, Grandstand crowd favorite, Brad Paisley is always welcome at the Illinois State Fair,” said Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Jerry Costello II. “His award-winning songwriting and showmanship are unmatched, and we’re honored to bring him back to our Grandstand.”
He is also the first artist to achieve 10 consecutive Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 singles. Paisley and his wife are also co-founders of the nonprofit organization, The Store, which aims to empower low-income families and individuals in the Nashville area.
“Brad Paisley’s music celebrates family, tradition, and good times — values that align perfectly with what the Fair is all about,” said Illinois State Fair Manager Rebecca Clark. “We’re excited to partner with someone who shares our passion for bringing people together, and we know it’s going to be a night to remember.”
