The first 2 concerts at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand
DES MOINES, Iowa – Although it’s cold now, winter won’t last forever. If you’re hoping for some warm weather, August is a good time to look ahead: The first two artists scheduled for the Iowa Lottery Grandstand Concert Series have been revealed by the Iowa State Fair.
The grandstand stage will host performances by Lauren Daigle and Foreigner on the fair’s opening two evenings on August 8 and 9, respectively.
The following year, contemporary Christian singer Daigle would debut at the Iowa State Fair. The two-time Grammy Award winner debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart when her self-titled album was published earlier this year. The album’s performance resulted in him being named Billboard’s Top Christian Artist of the Year.
Special guest Blessing Offor, a Christian pop and gospel singer, will perform with Daigle.
Rock group Foreigner will visit the fairgrounds on the second night of the event as part of their historic farewell tour. According to the Foreigner website, the band, known for singles such as “I Want to Know What Love Is” and “Juke Box Hero”, has had nine top 10 hits and has sold more than 80 million albums.
Grammy-winning rock musician Melissa Etheridge will join Foreigner as a special guest. Doors for both events open at 10am on Friday, December 1st.
If you’re holding your breath waiting for additional announcements, don’t worry; The Iowa State Fair said two more artists will be revealed by the end of 2023.
