Fair announces final concert of 2026

The final piece to the Great Jones County Fair’s 2026 puzzle is in place in the form of a longtime county artist with multiple No. 1 Country Airplay songs to his name. 

Gary Allan will take the stage for the Sunday, July 26 show on the final night of this year’s fair. 

The Great Jones County Fair announced Allan’s concert on its Facebook page Monday morning. 

Allan’s musical resume includes four songs that saw time at the top of the Billboard County Airplay chart: “Nothing on but the Radio,” “Tough Little Boys,” “Every Storm (Runs out of Rain),” and “Man to Man,” which also is Allan’s highest song on the Billboard Hot 100, which placed at 25th on March 15, 2003. 

Other hit songs by Allan include “Right Where I Need to Be,” “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful,” and “Best I Ever Had.”

Tickets for the Allan concert will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 3 on eTix and cost $35 apiece.

Allan rounds out the all-country lineup for this year’s fair concert slate. The weekend of music begins Thursday night with Bailey Zimmerman and a to-be-announced opening act. Megan Maroney will follow on Friday night as part of her Cloud 9 Tour. Then, on Saturday night, Riley Green hits the stage.

Tickets for all these acts are available on eTix, links for which can be found on greatjonescounyfair.com.
