Concerts
From rock to country to rap, there’s something on the concert lineup for everyone.
“One family may be interested in attending a country music concert while another family is interested in a rap concert and another family doesn’t care about concerts at all,” Rabago said. “The fair really puts a lot of thought into the talent selection with the goal of reaching different audiences.”
Rock lovers will be happy to know that the 96.1 KLPX Fest, dubbed “Beers, Bands, Bikes and Babes,” has returned for its second year, starting at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 16. The lineup includes Ratt, Blue Oyster Cult, Quiet Riot and the AC/DC cover band, Noise Pollution.
Get there early and check out the Zapatistas MC AZ Invitational Show and Shine, where you can vote for your favorite motorcycle.
More of a country fan? No worries. Grab your cowboy boots and head to the fair on April 23 for “Boots, Beer, Bulls and Rockin Country.” The day starts with the rodeo at 1 p.m. Local country bands take the stage at 4, followed by Nashville duo LoCash at 6:30 and Texas country singer Clay Walker at 8.
That’s not all.
