Proving it's never too early to get your chicks in a row, the State Fair announced Monday that the Dixie Chicks will perform Aug. 27 at the grandstand.

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. They can also be bought at the State Fairgrounds during a special limited-time opening from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday. For further details, call 651-288-4427.

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.
