It might be frigid in West Michigan right now, but it is never too early to start thinking about fair season. For more than 170 years, the Allegan County Fair has been a local tradition, delivering carnival rides, livestock shows, awesome food, rodeos, and more.

Now you can add a huge rock show to this year’s lineup!

Breaking Benjamin kicked off a new chapter in October 2024 with “Awaken,” their first new single in five years and their first release under a new deal with BMG. A seventh studio album is expected soon, which means fans could be hearing brand new material live in Allegan.

Chevelle are touring behind their 2025 album Bright as Blasphemy, while Starset are out in support of Silos, their fifth studio release. Between the new music and the production these bands bring, get ready for it!
