Jo Dee Messina with Adam Doleac
Sept 13, 2026 | 7:30 PM | Kansas Star Casino Grandstand, Hutchinson
Country music icon Jo Dee Messina will bring her signature powerhouse vocals and chart-topping hits to the 2026 Kansas State Fair. Opening the night will be critically acclaimed singer-songwriter and rising country artist Adam Doleac.
Messina’s new album, Bridges, is 10 years' worth of seasons rolled up into one. The love, the life, the pain, the fight, the learning — and the living through it all.“It’s not about a full transformation,” Messina says. “It’s about what I’ve gone through and how I’ve gotten through it all. But I’m not done living yet. There’s still a lot more to learn.” The road behind her is littered with accolades: nine number-one hits, 16 Top 40 songs, and awards and nominations from the ACM, CMA, AMA, Billboard and the Grammys.
Opening the night will be Adam Doleac, a Mississippi-born artist taking the Nashville scene by storm with his unique signature sound. After trading big-league baseball dreams for a music career, Doleac made his way to Nashville, where he spent several years penning lyrics for notable names including Kane Brown, Lainey Wilson, Dan + Shay and more. His catalog includes the Gold-certified song “Famous,” along with recent releases “Bye Heart,” “Dream House” and “Bar Named Jesus” featuring Thomas Rhett. Doleac’s soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics have won over a legion of fans and audiences across the globe.
