The country lineup for this summer's Missouri State Fair is growing. The fair has announced that Lady Antebellum and Kelsea Ballerini will perform on the final weekend of the 2016 fair, on Saturday, August 20. The fair had previously announced that Chris Janson and LoCash will also be part of this year's entertainment lineup at the Pepsi Grandstand Arena.
Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe today announced three great entertainment options for fairgoers attending the annual event on its final weekend. Two country music concerts and auto racing will finish out the Pepsi Grandstand series at the Fair, which will be held Aug. 11-21 in Sedalia.
Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now' was a crossover smash in 2010, and a multiple Grammy winner the following year, but it was also dogged by accusations that it was an obvious (and uncredited) rewrite of the Alan Parsons Project's 1982 hit 'Eye in the Sky.'
'CMT Crossroads' has facilitated a series of entertaining collaborations between rock and country artists, and for the show's latest trick, they've hooked Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks up with Lady Antebellum.
In January, Stevie Nicks shared a stage with country superstars Lady Antebellum to record an episode of CMT's 'Crossroads.' After seven months, there's finally an airdate.
