UK Alt-Rock Legends Join AZ State Fair 2025 Lineup

Expanding the Coliseum Concert Series for Arizona State Fair 2025

The Arizona State Fair has once again elevated its Coliseum Concert Series, offering an array of exciting performances that are sure to draw music lovers from across the region. This year’s lineup includes a mix of genres and artists, from indie rock to Latin pop, making it one of the most diverse and anticipated events in recent memory.

Among the newly added acts is the British alt-rock pioneers The Cult, known for their iconic track “Love Removal Machine.” Their performance will join a roster that already features a sold-out concert by The Format, a local indie group that hasn’t played a full-band show since 2007. Other highlights include country star Brett Eldredge, metal band Mastodon, and Latin pop sensations Reik.

The Arizona State Fair 2025 is set to run from Friday, September 19, through Sunday, October 26. This marks a significant return to form for the fair, which had reduced the number of concerts in its Coliseum series after a three-year hiatus that began in 2020 due to the pandemic. When concerts resumed in 2023, there were six shows, and in 2024, the number dropped to three. However, 2025 brings a strong resurgence with nine concerts featuring eight different artists.
