Tickets for the stop on the act's DCX World Tour MMXVI are priced at $57 and $67, with all seats reserved. Tickets will be available Friday through Etix at etix.com or by calling 1-800-514-3849.

The Dixie Chicks, comprised of lead singer Natalie Maines and sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire, have collected 13 Grammys. Their bluegrass/folk/country sound has also earned them numerous County Music Association and Academy of Country Music Awards.
One other grandstand act for 2016 was previously announced, Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas, on Aug. 31. The fair runs Aug. 25 through Labor Day, Sept. 5.
