California country singer Jon Pardi will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 17, at the Chumash Grandstand Arena at the Paso Robles Event Center, the fair announced in a news release.

Pardi made a name for himself with chart-toppers like “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt on My Boots,” both from his 2016 platinum No. 1 album “California Sunrise.”

The multi-platinum country singer earned international acclaim with 9.3 billion global streams and made history as the first California native inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2023.

Pardi will stop in Paso Robles as a part of his tour for his new album, “Honkytonk Hollywood,” set to release on April 11.

Pardi will return to the Mid-State Fair after a previous performance in 2018.

An opening act will be announced at a later date, the release said.
