HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair has added another major concert to its 2025 lineup, announcing that country music icon Lorrie Morgan will perform on the final Sunday of the fair, with viral sensation Mason Ramsey set to open the show.
The concert is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. at the Nex-Tech Grandstand. The announcement was made Monday morning by Brian “Shell” Schultz, general manager of the Kansas State Fair.
“Last year we introduced a Sunday afternoon show with the Oak Ridge Boys, and it was a huge hit,” Schultz said. “This year, we’re excited to welcome Lorrie Morgan and Mason Ramsey to close out the fair.”
Morgan, known for hits like What Part of No, Five Minutes, and Something in Red, is considered one of the genre’s legendary vocalists. Schultz called her “one of the first pure queens of country,” noting her decades of success in the industry.
Opening the show will be 17-year-old Mason Ramsey, who rose to fame in 2018 with a viral video of him yodeling in a Walmart. Ramsey previously performed at the Kansas State Fair and is known for blending classic country with a youthful twist.
Tickets for the concert go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, May 9. Subscribers to the fair’s email list will receive a presale code for early access beginning Thursday.
Reserved seats in the Nex-Tech Grandstand will be available for $30 and $40. The Kansas Star Casino Party Pit — a seated section near the stage — will be priced at $50. VIP deck tables, which include six seats, beverages, and hors d’oeuvres, are available for $500. Standing-room-only packages are $60 on the VIP deck.
All concert tickets include fair gate admission.
Schultz emphasized the fair’s commitment to offering accessible and enjoyable concert experiences.
“We’ve got great seating options for everyone,” he said. “Whether you’re looking for a big night out with friends or a close-up view of a country legend, we’ve got you covered.”
