Wisconsin State Fair’s latest headliner announcement is arguably its biggest yet for 2026.
Country star Bailey Zimmerman – one of the biggest acts booked at Country Thunder in Twin Lakes in 2024 – will headline the fair’s Bank Five Nine Main Stage Aug. 8. It’ll be his first Milwaukee-area appearance after releasing sophomore album “Different Night Same Rodeo” in 2025.
Reserved seats are $87 to $110 and include fair admission Aug. 8. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 16 at wistatefair.com.
That’s also when tickets go on sale for two other fair headliners announced this week: The All-American Rejects, slated for Aug. 13; and Of King & Country, scheduled for Aug. 10.
The fair returns Aug. 6-16.
