Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow is set to perform at the Illinois State Fair Grandstand on Tuesday, August 12. Crow's career has been marked by significant achievements, with her songs influencing the third wave of feminism and achieving commercial success without compromising their impact. Her first nine studio albums have sold 35 million copies globally; seven reached the Top 10, and five attained Multi-Platinum status.

"Since 1994, Sheryl Crow has been one of the most influential singer-songwriter-musicians in country-rock music," stated Jerry Costello II, Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. "Her music lifts people up, brings them together, and we can't wait for that to happen at the Illinois State Fair."

Rebecca Clark, Manager of the Illinois State Fair, expressed excitement about Crow's return to the Grandstand stage after nearly three decades: "We are thrilled to welcome Sheryl Crow back to the Grandstand stage after 29 years. Her extensive music catalog will have every generation singing along to her hits."

Tickets for Sheryl Crow's performance will be available starting Saturday, February 15 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. Prices range from $40 for Tier 3 seats to $105 for the Blue Ribbon Zone. An additional $30 Pre-Show Party ticket is offered as an upgrade for all paid concerts.

The Illinois State Fair is scheduled from August 7 through August 17 in Springfield. Updates and announcements regarding the fair can be followed on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
