First 2021 Iowa State Fair Grandstand Announcement – Blake Shelton with special guest Matt Stell

In 2020, the music stopped at the Iowa State Fair, but what better way to launch the 2021 Iowa State Fair Grandstand Concert Series presented by Homemakers Furniture than with big name country icon Blake Shelton? Last performing on the Grandstand in 2008 with Tracy Lawrence, Shelton will perform at the Iowa State Fair with special guest Matt Stell on Friday, August 13, at 8:00 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 8, 2021 at 10:00 a.m.

Listen mornings January 6 – 8 for your chance to win a pair of tickets to the show!

Blake Shelton continues to add to his superstar status. His single, “Happy Anywhere” featuring Gwen Stefani marked his 28th No.1 on the country airplay charts and topped the Country Digital Song Sales chart with nearly 27,000 tracks sold in the first week alone. With award wins nearing the hundreds and more recently named Country Artist of the Year at the 2020 E! People’s Choice Awards for the third consecutive year, the Iowa State Fair is thrilled to have Shelton, along with up-and-coming country artist Matt Stell, in the Iowa State Fair Grandstand Concert Series presented by Homemakers Furniture on the Kum & Go Stage in 2021.
