Gabriel Iglesias – Saturday, Sept. 10, 7:30 p.m. – Tickets $70/$45/$30*
Gabriel Iglesias, commonly known as Fluffy, learned at a young age to hone his sense of humor in order to deal with obstacles he faced growing up in California, which led to his comedic career. Iglesias’ stand-up comedy consists of a mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring his personal experiences to life.
Today, Iglesias is one of America’s most successful stand-up comedians, performing sold-out concerts around the world. Most recently, he had the honor of being one of the few comedians to both headline and sellout Madison Square Garden in New York, The Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, and The Honda Center in Anaheim. Additionally, Iglesias will be launching The Fluffy Breaks Even! concert tour this Fall.
Iglesias has had roles in multiple movies, sitcoms and will be starring in Fuse TV’s Fluffy Breaks Even! premiering in October. Last year was Gabriel Iglesias’ first appearance at the Kansas State Fair, and what an impression he made. Fairgoers laughed so hard they cried. You won’t want to miss out on his comical show this year.

Justin Moore with Special Guest Clare Dunn – Sunday, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m. – Tickets $60/$40/$25*
Justin Moore is a fierce country music trail blazer known for doing things his own way. Moore has dented the country radio charts with three No. 1 Hits “Small Town USA,” “If Heaven Weren’t So Far Away” and “Til My Last Day,” in addition to the Top 10 mission declaration “Backwoods.”
Moore’s unique type of country music, which combines tenderness and decency with rowdiness, has built his career eschewing the path most taken by other country artists. He’s developed a fan base along the way of people just like him.
Beyond the hits, the gold-certified albums and the momentum of a career hitting its stride, Off the Beaten Path is a collection of songs including “This Kind of Town” and “One Dirt Road.” Justin Moore knows who he is, what matters and he’s not going to compromise those things in the name of chasing what everyone else is already doing. Moore is a go-getter, and certainly one to watch.

Clare Dunn
Clare Dunn’s roots run deep in the heart of Dust Bowl country growing up on a farm in southeast Colorado near the Oklahoma panhandle. From a young age, everyday life consisted of working cattle, hauling water, driving combines, tractors and eighteen wheelers. She dreamed of creating her own music while spending hours on the tractors.
Dunn pursued her music dream in college. She relocated to Nashville, Tenn., to attend Belmont University, after a brief college stint in Texas. During this time, she also picked up a guitar for the first time determined to master both acoustic and electric guitars. After graduating from Belmont with honors she signed her first publishing deal as a songwriter. From writing her debut single “Get Out” with co-writer and producer Ben West, to playing guitars on the track and singing background vocals, Dunn’s music is a representation of her impressive talent.
Touring, Dunn has opened for Keith Urban, Florida Georgia Line, Colt Ford, Parmalee, Hank Jr., Jamey Johnson and others as well as played major festivals. Clare Dunn combines her strong work ethic and passion for music to deliver a genuine, must-see performance.
