The Du Quoin State Fair announced Wednesday the final act for the Pepsi Mid America River Radio Grandstand. ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Lainey Wilson will headline the grandstand Sept. 1.
The singer-songwriter landed her first No. 1 on the Country radio charts with "Things a Man Oughta Know," which went on to win the ACM Award for Song of the Year. She recently clinched her second No. 1 with "Never Say Never" with Cole Swindell. Her current single, "Heart Like A Truck" is climbing up the charts as she is set to join the cast of Yellowstone this fall in Season 5 of the hit show. "We are excited to be rounding out the lineup with an award-winning female voice who is making her mark in country music," said Du Quoin State Fair Manager Josh Gross. "Adding Lainey to the already stellar lineup means we are going to have a great 100th Anniversary celebration in Du Quoin at the end of the August. "
