Illinoisan of the Day nominations are now being accepted for the Illinois State Fair

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) – Illinois State Fair headlining act Staind backs out of the 2021 lineup. 

Staind was originally scheduled to perform Thursday, Aug. 12, but due to scheduling conflicts will no longer be coming to the State Fair. 

“We are disappointed that Staind will not be a part of our 2021 grandstand lineup,” said State Fair Manager, Kevin Gordon. “We are working on filling the spot and can assure you the grandstand will be rocking on opening night.”

Customers that purchased Staind tickets  directly through www.Ticketmaster.com ,  or through the Ticketmaster mobile app, will receive an automatic refund back to the card used to purchase the tickets.

Tickets for all other previously announced shows are currently on sale via Ticketmaster. 

All COVID-19 protocols in effect at the time of the fair will be followed. 

Fairgoers will receive a full refund if COVID-19 prevents the Illinois State Fair from being held.
