Hear Rich Country Songs On The First Night Of State Fair

Wisconsin State Fair officials announced Midland with Southall will wow country fans with beautiful harmonies, slick lyrics, and country flair for the first time at the newly-titled Bank Five Nine Main Stage on opening night of the State Fair, Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 7:30 p.m.

Midland moves crowds with a rich country sound that’s rooted in tradition, sound, and style. With their intentional nod to country music reminiscent of the 70s and 80s, enjoy country jams from the band like “Drinkin’ Problem,” “Burn Out,” and “Old Fashioned Feeling.”

Formerly known as the Read Southall Band, Southall will open this country show. With hit singles like “Scared Money,” “Why,” and the latest off their fourth album, “Get Busy (Till It’s Done),” this six-piece plays with raw and loud collaborative power.
