Lambert, Lovato and Cheap Trick to play State Fair

Posted:

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Country star Miranda Lambert, pop-rock band Train and rock icon Cheap Trick are among the headliners at the Illinois State Fair this year.

State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick announced the performers Thursday, and she calls it one of the best line-ups the fair has ever had.

The line-up also includes country singers Eric Church and Brantley Gilbert. Church is known for his No. 1 single "Drink in My Hand," and he'll open the grandstand concerts on Friday, Aug. 10.

Disney star Demi Lovato will perform on Aug. 11 along with Hot Chelle Rae, a rock band known for its 2011, double platinum song "Tonight Tonight."

Other acts in the line-up include Christian rapper TobyMac, the cast of Million Dollar Quartet and Charlie Daniels.
