The Knox County Fair Board is thrilled to announce the lineup for the 2026 Fair Concert! On Thursday, July 9, 2026, multi-platinum hitmaker Justin Moore will headline the fair stage. Moore has built a loyal following over the past decade with his traditional country sound and captivating live performances. His deeply personal latest single, “This Is My Dirt,” recently earned him his 13th No. 1 hit, following the RIAA platinum-certified “You, Me, and Whiskey,” a sultry duet with Priscilla Block. Throughout his 10+ year career, Moore’s No. 1 hits have included “Point at You,” “Lettin’ The Night Roll,” “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” “Small Town USA,” and “Till My Last Day,” along with multiple platinum-certified albums and singles. He has received nominations for numerous awards, including ACM, ACA, CMT, People’s Choice, and ACC Awards, and has celebrated an ACM Award win.
Also performing at this year’s fair is Priscilla Block, a rising female artist recognized as an “Artist to Watch” by Amazon Music, American Songwriter, Pandora, Spotify, CMT, The Boot, MusicRow, HITS, Country Now, Music Mayhem, and more. Block has made a significant impact in country music with her devoted fan base and authentic songwriting, featuring hits like “Thick Thighs,” “PMS,” and “Just About Over You.” In 2022, she celebrated her first No. 1 on country radio with “You, Me, and Whiskey,” a gold-certified collaboration with Justin Moore.
