The 2025 Northern Wisconsin State Fair Main Stage performers promise to appeal to a wide-range of music lovers thanks to its star-studded lineup. From July 9-12, the fairgrounds will welcome Montgomery Gentry, Hairball, FLO RIDA, and Foreigner.

Tickets to each show will be up for grabs to the public at noon on Friday, Nov. 8, and typically sell out. Pre-sale tickets will launch two days prior at noon on Nov. 6, exclusively to Fair Fan Club members.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring such an incredible lineup to the Leinenkugel’s Main Stage this year,” NWSF executive director Rusty Volk stated in a recent media release. “With more than 125 years of fairs in Chippewa Falls, it seems like every year is still getting bigger and bigger.”

Pricing typically ranges from about $10-$200 for Main Stage performance seating – including VIP Experience, Grandstand, Premium, and Infield seats – and should be bought directly from from NWSF.

The “VIP Experience” tickets will also be available for purchase, which includes exclusive seating in rows 1-5; complimentary beverages; a catered meal; air-conditioned bathroom access, and more.
