Clear your calendar: from September 5 through 21, the New Mexico State Fair will celebrate its 70th anniversary, and will once again play host to a hand-picked roster of some of country music’s most popular and celebrated entertainers. From raw country talent to young television superstars and established world-class bands and solo artists, Tingley Coliseum will feature them all as part of the combined PRCA rodeo and concert lineup.
“This lineup in one of the strongest I’ve seen in terms of new horizon country stars, and we’re bringing back Ronnie Milsap, to boot,” said State Fair Commission Chairman Luke Otero, who also heads the entertainment committee for the fair. “We’ve worked hard to book and confirm our entertainers early, and at this point we’re just about ready to sell tickets,” Otero continued.
As a slight detour from the expected spate of top country music artists, two of the most popular teen TV stars in the United States – Vanessa Hudgens and Corbin Bleu, who performed together in the Disney Channel original movie “High School Musical” – will headline Tingley Coliseum on Saturday, September 6.
In keeping with The New Mexico State Fair’s long history of family-friendly pricing, this year’s rodeo/concert series and concert-only tickets are still the bestdeals in town for premier entertainment. Rodeo/concert series tickets are priced at $12, $20 and $31. Season box tickets are $28 each for all eight rodeo events. Concert-only ticket prices are $25, $36, $42 and $48.
