Friday Night Headliner in the Beer Tent
Close out the opening night of the 2026 Schomberg Fair with a powerhouse country performance. Outlaw State of Mind, one of Canada’s leading Chris Stapleton tributes, takes the Beer Tent stage on Friday, May 29 at 9:30 PM, delivering the gravelly vocals, blues-infused country, and Southern soul that have made Stapleton one of the most respected voices in modern country music.
What to Expect
This isn’t a quiet, sit-down show — it’s a full-scale concert experience built for a packed tent and a Friday-night crowd. Backed by a tight professional band, the lead vocalist captures Stapleton’s raw, weathered delivery with the kind of authenticity that has earned this act sold-out theatre dates across the country.
Expect to hear the songs you came for, including:
- Tennessee Whiskey
- Broken Halos
- Midnight Train to Memphis
- Traveller
- Parachute
- Starting Over
- You Should Probably Leave
- Whiskey and You
- Millionaire
- Outlaw State of Mind
…plus a deep cut catalogue covering more than 30 Stapleton favourites.
Why This Act Fits the Schomberg Fair
The Schomberg Fair has always paired its agricultural roots with the kind of live music that brings the community together. Country, blues, and soul are woven into the DNA of small-town Ontario fair culture, and an act of this calibre is a great match for the Beer Tent atmosphere — friends, neighbours, cold drinks, and music you can sing along to from the first note.
Whether you’re a long-time Stapleton fan or just looking for a great Friday night out in King Township, this show is worth planning your evening around.
