The Illinois State Fair announced in a Facebook post this morning that REO Speedwagon will headline the Illinois State Fair on Tuesday, August 15.
Tickets will go on sale at a later date which has not been announced as of this writing. The Illinois State Fair website says that track seats will be $45. Tier 1 seats will also be $45 while Tier 2 will go for $38 and Tier 3 for $33.
Once the ticket on-sale date is announced, I will update this story. REO Speedwagon has been mentioned frequently by listeners as one of the top bands they'd like to see in our area. The Illinois State Fair is as close as REO Speedwagon is getting to us...for now.
