Grammy-winning Christian artists For King & Country are coming to the Wisconsin State Fair, the second headliner announced for the 2023 fair.

Australian brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone will bring their band to the main stage Aug. 7 behind their latest album "What Are We Waiting For?" They've played the fair before, but their most recent show at Wisconsin State Fair Park was a drive-in concert in a parking lot on the grounds in 2020. Their most recent show in Milwaukee was at Summerfest last year.

Tickets for the Aug. 7 show, priced between $41 and $51, go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 27 at wistatefair.com. Tickets include fair general admission Aug. 7. Christian artist Katy Nichole will open.

The fair is expected to announce nine more main stage headliners. The 2023 Wisconsin State Fair will run from Aug. 3 to 13.
