You've waited with bated breath about who would be coming to the 2025 Great Jones County Fair. Well today, the wait is over! Please welcome the first headliner to next summer's Great Jones County Fair...HARDY!

K-HAWK is proud to welcome five-time ACM Award winner and two-time CMA Award winner HARDY to Monticello! He'll play the grandstand at the Great Jones County fairgrounds on Saturday, July 19th, 2025. Special guest John Morgan will open the show that night at 8 p.m. HARDY's mix of Southern Rock and Country has his footprints all over the country charts, both as an artist and as a songwriter. His duet with Lainey Wilson, 'Wait in the Truck' was a groundbreaking hit.

His other radio hits include #1 singles 'One Beer' featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson and 'Beers on Me' with Dierks Bentley and BRELAND. HARDY has also penned 15 #1 country singles for artists like Thomas Rhett, Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell, and Florida Georgia Line.

A staple on the country charts, HARDY hasn't been afraid to embrace his rock roots. His album Quit! topped the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart, featuring the hit songs PYSCHO and SIX FEET UNDER. HARDY even had a #1 song on rock radio with the single JACK.
