State Fair of Texas at 360 Degrees!
Posted by The Killdares on Sep 27, 2012
Another State Fair of Texas is upon us. It’s hard to believe, but this will be our 13th year to play this event, and once again we will be playing 5 shows a day for ALL 24 days. And boy! Oh boy!…there are a lot of new things in store this year. We’re releasing a whole new line of MERCH this year including T-shirts, Tank-tops, Hats, jerseys, drink koozies…and more. But even more awesome is our new stage!. We’ve teamed up with Dr. Pepper and built a brand new 360-degree revolving stage! This stage is the first of its kind at the State Fair, and we couldn’t be more stoked about it. Now you’ll be able to watch us in the round. 360-degrees of Celtic Rock!
Showtimes: EVERY DAY at 2:00PM, 3:00PM, 4:00pM, 5:00PM, 6:00PM
