Country act Dan + Shay are coming to Dallas: The duo has extended its 2024 The Heartbreak On The Map Tour, and will now include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Friday, August 30.

Originally scheduled to run from February 29-April 13 and to hit only 19 cities, the tour has been extended through the summer, picking up on July 18 in Cincinnati, Ohio, then traveling to 30 more cities over two months, before ending on September 12 in Denver, Colorado.

Dallas is one of two new dates added in Texas, along with Houston on August 31.

Texas stops will now include:

Austin (March 7)
Fort Worth (March 8)
Dallas (August 30)
The Woodlands (August 31)

The tour is named after the third single, “Heartbreak On The Map,” from Dan + Shay's fifth album, Bigger Houses, which was released in September 2023.

They will also soon be returning to NBC's The Voice, this time as the first-ever coaching duo in the show’s history. They'll be joined on season 25 - which starts on February 26 - by Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Chance the Rapper.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with presales beginning February 20 at 11 am, and a Dan + Shay presale at 12 pm. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on February 23 at 10 am.

There will be patriotic displays everywhere you look at the 2026 State Fair of Texas.

As if all the food, entertainment, and discounts the State Fair of Texas is offering in 2026 wasn't enough, they will also continue the celebration of America's 250th birthday with a variety of patriotic attractions, exhibits, and experiences.

Red, white, and blue will be woven throughout Fair Park during the annual extravaganza, running September 25-October 18 this year, thanks to the State Fair's commemorative theme, “Stars, Stripes, and Howdies." That will be especially evident opening weekend, September 25-27, according to a news release.

At the annual Opening Day Ceremony, which takes place at 6:45 pm on the Hall of State steps on September 25, there will be a special America 250 flyover after the national anthem concludes.

The flyover will consist of a B-52 Stratofortress, two F-35 Lightning IIs, and an A-10 Thunderbolt II. Following the flyover, future servicemembers of the U.S. Air Force will be sworn in with the Oath of Enlistment.

Additionally, an HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter and other military assets will be on display near the Hall of State the full weekend.

Finally, The United States Army 1st Cavalry Band will put on a special performance every two hours from 2-8 pm on Sunday, September 27 on the all-new ZiegenBock Stage at The Old Mill.

Visitors can also celebrate patriotism through several different types of exhibitions taking place the full run of the fair.

At D.A.R. House will be "Revolutionary Women: The Role of Women and Girls in the American Revolution," featuring display panels and artifacts that tell the stories of service, rebellion, and hardship of the mostly overlooked roles of women and girls in the American Revolution.

At the Music Hall at Fair Park, Broadway Dallas will present free daily screenings of Compagnia de' Colombari's Whitman on Walls!, featuring 50 artists performing Walt Whitman's iconic poem, "Song of Myself."

The Creative Arts building will host “United We Can,” a special display featuring hundreds of canned jars themed to each state, all arranged in a specific way to create an American Flag.

There will also be opportunities to visit the permanent Texas Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial, located across from the Music Hall and a visit from the Freedom250 Mobile Education Truck, which covers various aspects of American history.

As always, active-duty military, retired military, veterans, and first responders enjoy $5 off admission any day of the State Fair.
