It’s full steam ahead for the 2021 Illinois State Fair.
The Illinois State Fair is already adding two shows today to a stellar 2021 grandstand lineup. Fairgoers who purchase grandstand tickets will receive a full refund if COVID-19 prevents the Illinois State Fair from being held.
Staind will rock the grandstand on opening night of the 2021 Illinois State Fair. Currently made up of Aaron Lewis, Mike Mushok, Johnny April and Sal Giancarelli, Staind will be performing hits like “It’s Been a While” and “Something to Remind You” on Thursday, August 12.
Get out your Beanie Babies collection and tight roll your jeans! I Love the 90’s Tour featuring Vanilla Ice, Naughty by Nature, Bone Thugs-N- Harmony, All 4 One, Tone Loc, Young MC and Rob Base will headline the grandstand on Governor’s Day. Sounds of “Ice Ice Baby”, “O.P.P.”, “Crossroads”, “I Swear”, “Funky Cold Medina”, “Bust a Move” and “It Takes Two” will take you back in time on Wednesday, August 18.
In addition to a fantastic Grandstand lineup, fairgoers will now have the option of buying premium tickets in the new Blue Ribbon Zone seating area.

Planning has been underway with some big announcements coming from the Illinois State Fair, Including the grandstand concert lineup says manager Kevin Gordon.
“This is the first year that at least I have been with the fair and I think in the history of the fair that we have ever released our grandstand acts that went on sale prior to Christmas. I think it gives the individual’s who want to go to the concerts a golden opportunity to purchase these as Christmas presents, which is great. We are are very excited about that.”
Acts include Toby Keith, Badflower and comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias. Gordon teases other new features of the fair including the grandstand’s new seating area and the new Jumbo Pass, which offers fairgoers as many trips down the giant slide as they want says State Fair Manager Gordon.
“For an extra $10 on your Mega Pass, you can purchase a Jumbo Pass and that will include as many times as you want to go down the giant slide for eleven days.”
