Alabama
Reunited since 2011, Alabama, country's biggest band of all time, is returning to the State Fair grandstand for a record 19th performance. Does it really matter that last fall the trio released "Southern Drawl," its first studio album in 14 years? Naw, fans just want to hear "Mountain Music," "Dixieland Delight" and "If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)." Alabama last performed at the fair in 2001. (7:30 p.m. Sept. 1, grandstand, $40-$50.)
