A handful of acts including classic rock stars Styx and '90s mainstay Gin Blossoms were added Wednesday to this year's Hoosier Lottery Free Stage roster at the Indiana State Fair, as the lineup takes shape ahead of next week's final reveal.

Home Free, a retro '90s night, the Happy Together Tour led by The Turtles and a Gospel Music Festival featuring CeCe Winans were also among the new lineup additions. Clint Black, Buddy Guy and a handful of other shows were announced last week.

The concert series will run daily from July 28-Aug. 20 except for Mondays and Tuesdays, when the fair will be closed. Entry is free with fair admission until the venue fills up. All shows start at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

Fair admission will be $11 this year, and kids younger than 5 are free.
