Is there a better way to close out summer than a trip to the Colorado State Fair? The tradition returns for its 154th year, and the 2026 concert lineup is officially set.

The fair just announced its final two headliners, including Colorado’s own The Fray, who will take the stage alongside former Sublime with Rome frontman Rome Ramirez on Sunday, September 6.

If throwbacks are more your vibe, Saturday night brings serious nostalgia with the I Love the ’90s Tour, featuring icons like Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, Color Me Badd and C+C Music Factory.

The 2026 Colorado State Fair runs from Friday, August 28, through Monday, September 7, and it’s more than just concerts. Expect PRCA rodeos, a ranch rodeo, monster trucks, a demolition derby and a packed schedule of entertainment.

Full 2026 Colorado State Fair concert lineup:
Friday, Aug. 28 – Ian Munsick
Saturday, Aug. 29 – Dylan Scott
Sunday, Aug. 30 – Neal McCoy
Saturday, Sept. 5 – I Love the ’90s Tour
Sunday, Sept. 6 – The Fray with Rome Ramirez
