About State Fayre 2027
State Fayre brings country and Americana to Hylands Park in Chelmsford over three June days, June 18 to 20, 2027, with a BBQ pit run alongside the music. Each day has one name on top: The Chicks on Friday, Shania Twain on Saturday and Kacey Musgraves on Sunday.
Billy Strings and Sam Barber follow The Chicks on Friday, Drake Milligan and Sons of the East lead Saturday's support, and The Corrs, Brothers Osborne and Bear's Den fill out Sunday. The undercard leans young and Nashville-adjacent, from Mountain Grass Unit and Chance Peña to Evan Honer and Tyler Nance. This is the first announcement, with every act placed on a day and more names to come.
Expect country, alternative, indie folk and singer-songwriter across 25 acts.
