Brett Young Added to the 2021 Illinois Lottery Grandstand Lineup on August 20th
Russell Dickerson Scheduled to Open the Show

 

[June 11, 2021] 

The Illinois State Fair will welcome Brett Young to the Illinois Lottery Grandstand Stage Friday, August 20. The multi-platinum artist, whose sound has been aptly dubbed “Caliville” for his west coast meets southern style, is an ACM Award winner and ASCAP’s 2018 Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year with seven consecutive No. 1 hits. Young released his new album Weekends Look A Little Different These Days on June 4 via BMLG Records.

Opening for Brett Young will be multiplatinum singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Russell Dickerson. In 2020, the “Yours” singer received a nod in the “Best New Male Artist of the Year” category at the ACM awards.

Tickets for Brett Young with Russell Dickerson will go on sale Thursday June 10 at 10am on www.ticketmaster.com. Fairgoers who purchase grandstand tickets will receive a full refund if COVID-19 prevents the Illinois State Fair from being held.

There are changes being made to track admission for the 2021 grandstand. The track will be open for General Admission, but the VIP gated area on the track will no longer be offered. The Illinois State Fair is continuing to offer the Stage Side Pre-Show Parties for all nights of paid concert events. Attendees of the Stage Side Party are required to have both a concert ticket and a party ticket to enter the party tent. All party attendees are allowed entrance into the venue prior to the general ticketholders. Stage Side party tickets are $30 and include a parking pass if purchased prior to July 15. There are a limited number of party tickets available.
