State Fair of Texas Unveils 100-Artist 2025 Lineup With TLC, Paul Wall

The State Fair of Texas has released the full music schedule for its 2025 edition, confirming that more than 100 local and national acts will perform during the 24-day event at Fair Park in Dallas. Concerts span Sept. 26 through Oct. 19 and are included with the price of admission. Performances are spread across three venues—the Chevrolet Main Stage, Bud Light Stage and Bank of Texas Stage—covering genres from country and Norteño to R&B and electro-pop. Headliners range from 1990s icons TLC and Hoobastank to Houston rapper Paul Wall, country singer-songwriter Kaitlin Butts, R&B vocalist Brian McKnight, rock group The Band Perry and disco legends Village People. Additional marquee slots feature Yola, Hawthorne Heights and others, while a Friday-night “Deep Fried Comedy” series returns at the Grove on Nimitz. Fair organizers said the lineup aligns with this year’s theme, “Texas Shines Bright,” and marks the earliest the roster has been unveiled—roughly 100 days before opening day. Admission prices will be announced closer to the start date, and the full daily schedule is available on the fair’s website.
