The Washington State Fair welcomes country music phenomenon Thomas Rhett to the Washington State Fair stage on Wednesday, Sept. 20, part of the Columbia Bank Concert Series.

Rhett is making waves with the fastest rising single of his career, “Star Of The Show,” featured on the Tangled Up Deluxe album (The Valory Music Co.). Filled with party anthems, dance tunes, drinking songs, love ballads as well as five never-before-heard tracks, the release includes his record-breaking, 2X Platinum, six-week chart-topping, Grammy-nominated smash “Die A Happy Man.”

Rhett has already garnered major trophies from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, Billboard Music Awards and CMT Music Awards.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 8. Visit thefair.com and join the free E-Club for access to the best seats and ticket offers. E-Club members get the opportunity to buy tickets to all shows in the concert series lineup, before the general public.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Saturday, March 11 at 10 a.m. Tickets are $90, $80 and $70 and include fair gate admission. Tickets will be available on the fair website or by phone at 888-559-FAIR (3247) daily, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the state fair’s box office at 9th Avenue Southwest and Meridian Street on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Online and phone purchases are subject to standard processing fees. Tickets purchased on site will be charged a $2 per ticket service fee.

Concert ticket holders who want to start the party early, can purchase tickets to the pre-show party, hosted by KMPS. Join fellow fans in the VIP tent just inside the Gold Gate for fun, food and prizes before Rhett takes the stage. Tickets are $40 each and do not include concert tickets.
