Current ticket holders will also receive a priority code to purchase tickets if Keith Urban is rescheduled for a future Fair date.

Dan + Shay, played to a packed crowd in 2019 at the Fair and are gearing up to get back on the road returning to the Iowa State Fair Grandstand on August 21, 2021. In March, during the COVID pandemic, the group made history as the first to rack up three consecutive GRAMMY awards for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and at the 56th ACM Awards in April the group took home their third straight Duo of the Year title. Show opener, Russell Dickerson, was a 2019 nominee for Song of the Year.
