The Macoupin County Fair is excited to announce a dynamic lineup of grandstand entertainment for the 2026 event, happening in Carlinville, Illinois, from June 2 to June 7, 2026. Attendees can look forward to a wide range of attractions, including fast-paced harness racing, a thrilling demolition derby, the dazzling Queens Pageant, energetic live music, a lively carnival, delicious food vendors, and many more memorable experiences!
On Thursday, June 4, the fair is thrilled to welcome country music star Aaron Lewis to the grandstand. Known as the acclaimed frontman of the 2000s rock band Staind, Lewis made his mark with the band's distinctive, thoughtful sound. While Staind continues to thrive, Lewis has carved out an impressive solo career in country music, earning two No. 1 Billboard Country Album debuts with “Town Line” and “Sinner.” His collaborations with legends George Jones and Charlie Daniels resulted in the PLATINUM single “Country Boy,” and in 2021, he achieved GOLD certification and a Billboard No. 1 with “Am I The Only One.” Lewis’s 2022 solo album, “Frayed at Both Ends,” became the best-selling country album in America, cementing his status as a powerhouse in both rock and country genres.
Illinois-based Josh Holland Band will be opening the show.
In addition to the spectacular concert, attendees can experience grandstand events every night of the fair, offering a diverse lineup of entertainment for all ages. Below, you'll find a detailed schedule highlighting the exciting festivities awaiting visitors at this year’s fair.
