Trace Adkins is in the books for 2020 Chase County Fair

It’s for real this time.

When tickets for Trace Adkins were set to go on sale online for last year’s Chase County Fair in Imperial, Nebraska, entertainment chair Alex McNair was notified that Adkins had a personal scheduling conflict and would be unable to appear on Aug. 17, 2019.

Adkins was then booked for the 2020 show.

He’s still on schedule to be the headliner for the Saturday night show on Aug. 15. An opener for Adkins has not yet been announced.

This August won’t be his first trip to Imperial, either.Adkins’ first appearance at the Chase County Fair was in 2005.

He’s been a big part of the country scene for more than 20 years, with 11 million albums sold. Adkins made his debut in 1996 with the album “Dreamin’ Out Loud” on Capitol Records Nashville. He has since released 10 more studio albums and two “greatest hits” compilations.

But the country music icon is still making music. In September 2019, Adkins was featured in a new music video with Blake Shelton called “Hell Right.” The duo will also be doing a tour together this year dubbed Friends and Heroes.

No rock show this year

The long-standing tradition for Chase County Fair concerts has been both a rock night and a country night. This year there will be two country shows.

While Adkins will take the stage on Saturday, country singers Aaron Watson and Hardy will share the stage as co-headliners on Friday, Aug. 14.
