Mid-State Fair

Country music star to headline Mid-State Fair. Here’s how to get tickets

Country music star Eric Church will be belting out his hit songs at the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles this summer.

Church is set to headline at the Chumash Grandstand Arena at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, during the fair’s 80th anniversary.

The 11-time Grammy nominee and four-time Country Music Award-winner is perhaps best known for the songs “Drink in My Hand,” “Springsteen” and “Smoke a Little Smoke.”

“Eric Church is one of country music’s most influential modern artists, known for his bold songwriting, genre-pushing albums, and electrifying live shows,” a news release said. “A multi-award-winning performer and GRAMMY nominee with a fiercely loyal fanbase, Church has built a career defined by authenticity, ambition and impact-both onstage and beyond it.”

The American singer-songwriter has released seven studio albums and has more than nine million monthly listeners on Spotify, according to the streaming platform.

Tickets for the Mid-State Fair concert will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. and will be priced at $60, $100, $140, $170 and $200, the release said.

Tickets will be available online only via MidStateFair.com.
