The 2025 State Fair of Texas has unveiled the lineup of musical acts that will perform at this year's annual exposition, with headliners that include Joshua Ray Walker, Village People, Brian McKnight, and TLC.
The lineup includes all genres – from country to R&B, Norteño to electro-pop – with more than 100 acts performing during all 24 days of the 2025 State Fair of Texas, from September 26-October 19, free to any fairgoer, at these three music venues:
- 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.
- The Bud Light Stage, near Cotton Bowl Stadium, will showcase local and regional talent and is steps away from the fried food stands.
- The Bank of Texas Stage, located at the Grove on Nimitz, 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.
State Fair SVP of Brand Experience Jason Hays says in a release that they spent months of planning and collaboration to compose a diverse and dynamic roster of artists that will promise "unforgettable performances, inspiring creativity, and a celebration of music in all its forms."
The State Fair of Texas is continuing its partnerships with Romeo Entertainment Group, who are producing the Chevrolet Main Stage lineup; and with State Fair Records, the East Dallas-based label that programs and produces the Bud Light Stage and Bank of Texas Stage.
