Wisconsin State Fair Announces Pop-Rockers Joining Lindsey Stirling For 2026 Show

The announcements keep rolling out for prime entertainment at the 2026 Wisconsin State Fair.

Just announced, fair organizers shared a fun addition that combines an entertaining pop-rock act with the return of a dazzling musician.

Award-winning, genre-bending violinist and performer Lindsey Stirling is headlining this night of musical entertainment, marking her return to Wisconsin after a halftime performance during a Green Bay Packers game in 2024 and a 2025 tour stop in Madison with Apocalyptica and Halestorm.

Opening for Stirling is the energetic and entertaining synth/pop-rock act PVRIS (pronounced Paris). Led by singer Lynn Gunn, this act has seen success on the alt-rock charts for songs like "You and I" and "Hallucinations" and a collaboration with MGK on the song "In These Walls (My House)", which is a reimagining of PVRIS's song "My House".

While I haven't personally seen Stirling in concert, I've heard her shows are super entertaining. I have, however, seen PVRIS in concert, and Lynn and her band do an incredible job of connecting with the audience and bringing a mix of energy and vulnerability to their performances.

The PVRIS & Lindsey Stirling will kick off the final weekend of the fair, playing the Main Stage starting at 7:30 pm on Friday night, August 14, 2026.

Tickets for this show are on sale now via the Wisconsin State Fair website. They range from $56 to $81 in price.

This is just the latest in a growing list of national acts that have been announced for the 2026 Wisconsin State Fair Main Stage. Here's a look at all of the acts announced so far:
