Montgomery Gentry is playing the Illinois State Fair!
The Illinois State Fair just announced their final artist performing on the main stage, Montgomery Gentry! Here is what you need to know, if you want to attend.
On the Illinois State Fair's Facebook page they have been slowly revealing clues as to who is the mystery artist who would take the stage on Thursday August 8th, they announced this morning it is Montgomery Gentry! Montgomery Gentry is known for their five #1 Country Songs including, "Something to be Proud Of" "Lucky Man" and the 2008 hit "Roll with Me"
Montgomery Gentry performs on August 8th, but they are just the start of the country music that is invading the Illinois State Fair. Dan+Shay perform on August 11th, Old Dominion is on August 15th, and Reba McEntire closes out the Fair on August 18th. If you would like to buy tickets for any of these performances click here!
