We often talk about how the Fryeburg Fair is more than just a rural New England fair.

When you consider the fact that it has been around for over 150 years, that it is the largest fair in the state, and that it attracts visitors from all over the world, you realize how ICONIC the Fryeburg Fair really is.

Need more proof?

Look at the massive stars that have previously graced the main stage.  Lady A, Chase Matthew, Joe Diffie, Little Texas, Clint Black, Diamond Rio, and the Charlie Daniels Band, to name a few.

Yes, there have been some amazing national and local acts at the Fryeburg Fair.

We've finally started to get details about who will be performing at the 2026 Fryeburg Fair.

 

The Plain White T's Will Perform in Fryeburg, Maine

According to a post on the Fryeburg Fair Facebook page, the Plain White T's will take the main stage at the fair on Tuesday, October 6th.

The group, which formed in Chicago in 1997, is probably best known for their hit "Hey There Delilah".

The post says, in part:

They have amassed over 2.7 billion total global streams, earned two Grammy nominations, and collected several Platinum-plus and Gold certifications across their impressive catalog. Their signature single "Hey There Delilah" went quadruple-platinum, topped the Billboard Hot 100, and earned the pair of aforementioned GRAMMY® nominations in 2008 — for "Song of the Year" and "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal." They have made their pop culture mark by appearing on highly visible shows such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Sesame Street, iCarly, 90210, Beavis & Butthead, and Frankenweenie, all the while nabbing press accolades from TIME, Billboard, ESPN, Rolling Stone, AV Club, MTV, MSNBC, and more.

We expect more concerts to be announced in the next few days.
