With 100 days left until the 2025 State Fair of Texas, we are proud to announce the FREE music lineup for this year’s annual exposition. Fairgoers can experience all different kinds of live music – country to R&B, Norteño to electro-pop – across the fairgrounds during all 24 days of the 2025 State Fair of Texas, all included with their admission ticket. Get ready to sing and dance your heart out throughout the fairgrounds with three music venues and more than 100 artists live at the Most Texan Place on Earth®.
The Chevrolet Main Stage is an outdoor venue with a huge festival-type stage and experience, as well as an ADA-compliant area for guests needing special assistance. Featuring headlining and regional acts, the Chevrolet Main Stage is located next to the Craft Pavilion, near the Hall of State.
In addition to the Chevrolet Main Stage, live music can be found across the grounds. The Bud Light Stage, near Cotton Bowl Stadium, will showcase local and regional talent all 24 days of the Fair, just steps away from all your fried food favorites. The Bank of Texas Stage, located at the Grove on Nimitz, will feature a Friday night comedy series titled “Deep Fried Comedy,” along with live music throughout the week where you can sit back and unwind with a glass of wine or beer.
“After months of careful planning and collaboration, we are proud to present a diverse and dynamic roster of artists who embody the spirit and energy of the Most Texan Place on Earth,” says Jason Hays, SVP of Brand Experience. “This year promises unforgettable performances, inspiring creativity, and a celebration of music in all its forms. We look forward to welcoming you to our Texas-sized music festival that will resonate long after the final note is played.”
The State Fair of Texas is excited to continue its partnership with Romeo Entertainment Group®, producing the Chevrolet Main Stage lineup for the 2025 Fair. With their 65-plus years of experience and long list of clients, Romeo Entertainment Group has become a household name in the entertainment industry, and we look forward to growing our partnership in the future.
In addition, the Fair is entering its seventh year of partnership with State Fair Records, the East Dallas-based label that programs and produces the Bud Light Stage and Bank of Texas Stage. With strong ties to local, regional, and statewide music scenes, State Fair Records continues to bring the very best the Lone Star State has to offer to the State Fair of Texas.
If you’re looking to get a taste of the live music scene even sooner, get amped up for the biggest pre-Fair party of the year, State Fair Saddle Up. State Fair Saddle Up returns September 10 with a night full of fundraising and memorable moments at The Rustic. Enjoy live performances from headliner Little Texas and opener Cash Byers, accompanied by fan-favorite Midway games, delicious food and beverages, amazing auction items, and exclusive perks for VIP ticket holders — all in support of Texas students. Funds raised will support the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs, so join us to kick off the 2025 State Fair of Texas at this one-of-a-kind Fair-themed party! Learn more about State Fair Saddle Up and purchase tickets at BigTex.com/Saddleup.
