Two Popular 90s Acts Have Been Announced for an Eastern Iowa Fair

Get ready to relive the 90s! The Mississippi Valley Fair in Davenport has announced that two throwback acts will play the Grandstand stage in 2025!

Last November, the Mississippi Valley Fair revealed the first three headliners scheduled for their 2025 event, all three of which are country acts. Kane Brown will play the very first night of the fair on Tuesday, July 29th, Nate Smith will headline the next night, Wednesday, July 30th, and closing out the 2025 Mississippi Valley Fair on Sunday, August 3rd is Jon Pardi. You can read more about those concerts HERE.

Today (February 12th), two more headliners were revealed for the 2025 fair, and they're both big names from the 90s! The first is the iconic girl group TLC!

Tionne "T-Bone" Watkins (who was actually born in Des Moines!) and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, the two surviving members of TLC, will take the stage at the Eastern Iowa fair on Thursday, July 31st. The "L" in TLC, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, tragically passed away in a car crash on April 25th, 2002, but the two other members of the trio are still touring and performing together.

Opening up for TLC on July 31st is the duo 3OH!3, who are best known for their hit song "Don't Trust Me" in 2008.

The second headliner announced this week for the 2025 Mississippi Valley Fair is the rock group Third Eye Blind! They'll play on Friday, August 1st.

Third Eye Blind had several hits in the late 90s/early 00s, including "Semi-Charmed Life" and "How's It Going to Be" in 1997, "Jumper" in 1998, and "Never Let You Go" in 2000. The group is still actively making music today with original lead singer Stephan Jenkins! Their latest studio album Our Bande Apart came out in 2021.
