The State Fair of Texas' party planners booked a mix of country, rock, rap, disco, Christian rock and even musical comedy for the 2016 State Fair of Texas. Notable headliners at this year's event include East Texas country singer Kacey Musgraves and St. Louis rapper Nelly.
Musgraves kicks off Day One of the State Fair of Texas. She last performed at the fair in 2013 and has seen some big success since then, opening for Katy Perry, headlining her own tour and releasing 2015 album Pageant Material.
Another notable show on the State Fair's 2016 lineup is from singer-songwriter Ben Rector, whose song "Brand New" has gotten some radio play recently. The Sunday, Oct. 2 show featuring Selena's brother A.B. Quintanilla is also bound to be popular.
