The Illinois State Fair recently announced that three-time Grammy Award-winning entertainer, author, and actor, Tim McGraw, will headline the 2023 Illinois State Fair Grandstand on Thursday, Aug. 17. McGraw has sold more than 90 million records worldwide and dominated the charts with 46 number one singles.
McGraw is one of the most successful touring acts in the history of country music and his projects include hit songs, “Live Like You Were Dying,” and “Humble and Kind,” whose messages continue to impact fans around the world.
His newest single, “Standing Room Only,” launched with the most first-week streams of any track in McGraw’s career.
“We are excited to add one of country music’s biggest artists to the 2023 Illinois State Fair Grandstand lineup,” said Illinois State Fair Manager Rebecca Clark. “The extensive music catalog Tim McGraw brings to the stage will have hits for every generation to sing along to.”
Joining Tim McGraw is rising star Landon Parker. Parker landed on Amazon Music’s 2022 Artists to Watch list and Top 50 Most Played: Country after his debut EP Hits Home, released in December 2022. Parker bridges the distance between traditional country music and its modern-day makeover with his deep voice, small-town roots, and high-energy live shows.
Ticket sales for Tim McGraw with Landon Parker go on sale Friday, May 19 at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster. Tickets for all other announced shows are on sale via Ticketmaster.
