The California Mid-State Fair is thrilled to announce that Chris Stapleton will headline a special Pre-Fair Concert on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 – one night before the Fair officially opens. This unprecedented early kick-off marks the first time in Fair history that fans will be welcomed onto the grounds ahead of Opening Day for a major concert event.
The Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist will bring his powerhouse vocals and signature blend of country, soul, and rock to the Chumash Grandstand Arena for an unforgettable night under the Paso Robles summer sky. His supporting act will be Molly Tuttle.
