(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Legend Trace Adkins brings his deep baritone voice and commanding stage presence to the California State Fair as part of the Toyota Concert Series on the Sky River Casino Stage on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
Over the course of his three-decade reign in country music, MULTI-PLATINUM hitmaker Trace Adkins has emerged as a full-fledged icon whose reach spans far beyond the genre’s borders. A multi-award-winning singer and actor who’s scored 40 hit singles on country radio. The Louisiana native is now nearing the 30th anniversary of his trailblazing debut album Dreamin’ Out Loud, a 1996 LP that delivered his No. 1 “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing” and “Every Light in The House” (a Top 5 entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart).
With 12 million albums sold to date, the superstar entertainer recently followed his featured spot on Blake Shelton’s Friends & Heroes Tour with his own What Color’s Your Wild Tour (a hot-ticket headline run named for his hard-driving anthem released in early 2025) and will be embarking on his 30th Anniversary headline run in 2026.
For the latest entry in a celebrated filmography including acclaimed movies like Deepwater Horizon and a recurring role on the blockbuster sitcom King of the Hill, Adkins is next reprising his role as MercyMe manager Scott Brickell in I Can Only Imagine 2 (due out February 2026) after appearing as Big Buck in Day of Reckoning (a 2025 action film that featured his rousing revenge ballad “That Someday” in its closing credits).
A devoted philanthropist with a deep-rooted passion for giving back to the military community, he’s helped raise millions of dollars to support injured post-9/11 veterans as part of his work with the Wounded Warrior Project. He has received a multitude of honors for his humanitarian work, including the National Defense Industrial Association’s Dwight D. Eisenhower Award. A true American legend whose powerhouse catalog includes 14 studio albums, Adkins continues to embody the fiery spirit of traditional Country while moving the genre forward with his ever-evolving sound.
“When Trace Adkins takes the stage, fans can expect an unforgettable night of powerhouse vocals, and classic country hits,” said Tom Martinez, CEO of Cal Expo and the California State Fair.
