Hailey Whitters, Hairball, and More — Free Iowa State Fair Shows

We already know all of the Grandstand Acts for the 2021 Iowa State Fair, but what about all of the other stages?

According to the Des Moines Register, last month the Iowa State Fair announced all of the artists that will be playing the free stages at this summer's fair. That includes the Susan Knapp Amphitheatre, the Anne and Bill Riley Stage, the MidAmerican Energy Stage, and the Fun Forest Stage.

There are plenty of familiar names playing the free stages, especially if you're a fan of country music! Iowa-native Hailey Whitters is set to perform, as well as Niko Moon, Blanco Brown, and the season 17 winner of 'The Voice' Jake Hoot. Other notable acts from other genres include the popular classic rock cover band Hairball, late 90s alternative band LIT, 80s group Skid Row, and "I Wanna Sex You Up" singers Color Me Badd.
