Favorite Iowa Fair Announces Major Grandstand Lineup Change

A week before the Mississippi Valley Fair, a lineup change has been announced.

The Mississippi Valley Fair is getting ready to begin, going from July 29th-August 3rd. Among the multiple stages at the fairgrounds, there will be the grandstand, featuring classic artists.

This was the original grandstand schedule as revealed earlier this year:

• Tuesday, July 29th: Kane Brown
• Wednesday, July 30th: Nate Smith
• Thursday, July 31st: 3OH!3 & TLC
• Friday, August 1st: Third Eye Blind
• Saturday, August 2nd: Lit & Pop Evil

Lineup Change Announced

The grandstand may be losing an act, but it is also gaining an additional one.

Nate Smith, who was set for Wednesday, July 30th, is out of the lineup due to vocal issues. He posted this on Instagram earlier this month:

Before that one, he posted an earlier announcement also canceling some appearances due to vocal issues in early June.

So who will replace Nate on Wednesday night on the MVF grandstand?

The Mississippi Valley Fair announced Tuesday morning that Maddie & Tae and LoCash will be the grandstand acts on Wednesday, July 30th.

Maddie & Tae released their debut album in 2015, which included charting favorites like "Girl In A Country Song", "Fly", "Shut Up And Fish", and "Sierra".

Also on the new docket for the Mississippi Valley Fair grandstand this year is country duo LoCash, who has charted 4 songs, including "I Know Somebody", "I Love This Life", and "Hometown Home".
