Chevelle Completes the 2023 Illinois State Fair Grandstand Line Up

For Immediate Release – July 18, 2023

SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois State Fair announced today that Chevelle will rock the Illinois State Fair Grandstand Friday, August 18. The Illinois-rooted act completes the 2023 Illinois State Fair grandstand lineup.

After more than two decades together, numerous top-charting releases, and countless worldwide tours, Chevelle has confidently sailed through decades of uncharted waters and have emerge with a sound that is equally intricate as it is intimate. To-date, Chevelle has achieved Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold certifications across eight studio albums and seven number one hits, with 17 songs reaching the Top 10 on the Rock charts.

The band has sold over 5 million albums in the US, and more world-wide. Their extensive body of acclaimed work includes the 2002 Multi-Platinum selling genre staple “Wonder What’s Next” and the 2004 Platinum selling follow-up “This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In,” which debuted #8 on the Billboard Top 200.

In 2018, Chevelle released a B-sides and rarities collection entitled 12 Bloody Spies while they wrote and recorded the new album, NIRATIAS.

“We are excited to add Chevelle to an already diverse lineup,” said Illinois State Fair Manager Rebecca Clark. “From country to rock, to pop and hip hop, we feel we have built a grandstand lineup for every musical taste. We can’t wait to welcome fairgoers to the 2023 Illinois State Fair next month.”
