The Wisconsin State Fair revealed its final headliner Wednesday morning, rounding out the 2024 Bank Five Nine Main Stage lineup with a familiar face in country music.

Country star Jon Pardi will bring his signature twang and honky-tonk anthems to the fairgrounds this summer. The tour follows the release of his seventh studio album, "Honkytonk Hollywood" this past April. He’s no stranger to Milwaukee, having last performed in the city at the BMO Pavilion in 2022, and this will mark his fourth appearance in the area.

Rising country act Easton Corbin will open the show. Corbin has released four albums and hasn’t played the Milwaukee area since 2021.

Wednesday's announcement is the second headliner reveal of this week, after announcing on Tuesday that the trio of Queensryche, Great White and Quiet Riot will also play the fair.

Tickets for Jon Pardi with Easton Corbin will go on sale to the general public this Friday at 10 a.m. via the Wisconsin State Fair website, with an artist presale beginning on Thursday morning at 10 a.m. as well.
