The band and artist lineup for the 2024 New Mexico State Fair has been announced and there are some pretty big names on it.

The New Mexico State Fair takes place in Albuquerque from September 5th through the 15th and has been in existence since 1938. It's the biggest event in the entire state drawing at least 500,000 visitors every year.

In addition to all the rides, music, eats, drinks and other fun, you can also enjoy rodeo action from the Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association.

Whether you go for the concerts, the rodeo or both, your ticket will also get you entry into the fairgrounds. You can purchase tickets at the New Mexico State Fair box office or you can get them online.  Adults are $15, kids and seniors, $10.
