The Delaware State Fair announces significant changes to its grandstand concert lineup this summer.
The lineup will no longer include Sam Hunt, TobyMac, Tedeschi Trucks Band, I Love the 90’s Tour, and Hank Williams Jr.
The changes were made in response to guidance from the Delaware Department of Public Health on how to safely hold outdoor concerts and shows in Harrington later this summer.
Because of COVID-19 social distancing requirements, the capacity of the M&T Bank Grandstand is dramatically reduced, and that means Pit or VIP Loft tickets cannot be offered this year.
“Fair leadership and management genuinely appreciate the advice we were able to receive from the Department of Public Health” said Fair General Manager Bill DiMondi in a statement. “Unfortunately, the 6 largest shows on sale until this week have to be cancelled because they were not compatible with the COVID-19 mandated lowered capacity of only 2,500 sellable seats for each concert and 1,500 seats for our wheel events like the demo derby and monster truck show.”
Due to the downsizing of seat availability, the Fair announced that refunds will be given to all customers who purchased tickets directly from the Fair for the Roots and Boots show on June 12, and all State Fair shows on sale up until this week.
The Fair lineup will still include the Monster Truck Show on July 22, the Demolition Derby on July 25, Harness Racing on July 29, and other shows.
The full lineup is on the Fair’s website, and you can purchase tickets there starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday April 21.
