YORK, Pa. — The York State Fair announced Wednesday that country music icons Alabama will return to the Grandstand Stage on Sunday, July 25.
They'll be joined by special guest Jake Hoot. The show is set to begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday, but there's a special pre-sale for Alabama Fan Club members that begins today, the Fair said.
Tickets range from $35 to $65, and this includes admission to the Fair on the day of the show. They will be available by phone at 717.848.2596 and online at www.yorkstatefair.com.
The legendary country rock band has stood the test of time and this year celebrate their 50th anniversary. With 43 number one singles and over 80 million album sales under their belt, Alabama’s brilliance has not gone unnoticed.
Receiving over 178 Grammy’s, Country Music Association, and Academy of Country Music awards, Alabama’s accolades speak for themselves. The Country Music Hall of Fame Members were named Country Group of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America. The “Dixieland Delight band has made history in the country music scene.
Joining Alabama as their opening act is Hoot, a rising country star and the winner of Season 17 of NBC’s "The Voice."
Hoot’s debut EP, Love Out of Time, features a duet with superstar Kelly Clarkson on the track “I Would’ve Loved You.” The EP reached number two on the iTunes All Genre and Country Albums charts.
The addition of Alabama to the Fair's concert schedule fills a void left by the cancellation of a performance by Pitbull, who was originally scheduled to take the stage at the Fair on July 25. A scheduling conflict forced that show to be cancelled.
According to the Fair, those who bought tickets to the Pitbull show will be automatically issued a refund to the credit card the tickets were purchased on. Ticket holders do not need to request a refund.
The refund may take up to two weeks to be issued.
