Tim McGraw, Fergie returning to the California Mid-State Fair

Country star Tim McGraw, singer Fergie and pop rock band Fall Out Boy are among the acts scheduled to perform at the California Mid-State Fair this summer, organizers announced Friday.

Also lined up to play the Paso Robles Event Center are New Wave band Duran Duran and Bruce Springsteen tribute band Bruce in the USA.

Fall Out Boy will take the Chumash Grandstand Arena stage on opening night, July 20. The Grammy Award-nominated group’s hits include “Centuries,” “Dance, Dance” and “Sugar We’re Goin Down.”

Performing July 22 is Fergie, the Grammy-winning singer behind chart-toppers “Fergalicious,” “Glamorous” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” She’s found success both as a solo artist and as the female vocalist of hip hip group The Black Eyed Peas and has performed at the fair in both roles, most recently in 2009.

Three-time Grammy winner Tim McGraw has become a regular at the fair, making the trip to Paso Robles every few years. The country megastar whose hit songs include “Don’t Take the Girl,” “Something Like That” and “Live Like You Were Dying,” plays Paso Robles on July 24. He also performed here in 2002, 2004, 2009 and 2013. Up-and-coming country act Brooke Eden will open the show.
