SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon State Fair is tuning up for another high-energy season of music and entertainment, unveiling a 2025 concert lineup that spans decades and genres, from classic rock to early-2000s pop-punk, hip-hop, country, and reggae. Set to run from August 22 through September 1 in Salem, this year’s fair is bringing a nostalgic and diverse array of performers to its main stage.
Among the headliners announced are early-2000s favorites The All-American Rejects, known for hits like “Gives You Hell” and “Swing, Swing,” as well as Jamaican dancehall icon Sean Paul, whose chart-topping tracks like “Get Busy” and “Temperature” defined a generation of party anthems. Also returning to the fair is The Beach Boys, the enduring American rock band whose sunny California sound continues to draw multigenerational crowds.
The 2025 lineup doesn’t stop there. Alternative rock legends Goo Goo Dolls will take the stage, along with country-pop mainstay Josh Turner, celebrated for his baritone vocals and hits like “Your Man.” Rapper Ludacris, reggae pioneers Steel Pulse, and viral hip-hop artist Yung Gravy are also set to perform, bringing a wide spectrum of musical styles to this year’s roster.
The fair will also welcome Craig Morgan, the country singer best known for “Redneck Yacht Club,” and Daya, the pop singer-songwriter behind the breakout single “Hide Away.” Rounding out the lineup is Huntley, the soulful rocker who captured national attention as the winner of NBC’s The Voice Season 24. He will be joined by fellow Voice alum Jacquie Roar on the final night of performances, September 2.
Concerts will be held at the L.B. Day Amphitheater, with tickets available for purchase through the Oregon State Fair’s official website. Many shows offer free general admission with fair entry, while reserved seating options are available for fans seeking a closer view of the action.
With its eclectic mix of nostalgia, rising talent, and iconic headliners, the 2025 Oregon State Fair is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic editions in recent memory.
