SPRINGFIELD, IL – Recent winners of both ACM and CMA Vocal Group of the Year, Old Dominion will play the Illinois State Fair Grandstand on Thursday, August 15.

Old Dominion returns to the State Fair Grandstand, this time as the headliner after opening for Jake Owen in 2016. Initially, the members of Old Dominion got together to showcase the songs they wrote for other acts, but they’re now a major force to be reckoned with in the country music industry. Old Dominion’s breakout hit, “Break Up With Him,” has a hip-hop vibe but spent two weeks at number one on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.

With their new album Happy Endings, Old Dominion hopes to demonstrate their diversity as a band, from their influences in rock and pop to the types of songs they select. The band’s first single off that album, “No Such Thing As A Broken Heart,” signifies their desire to deliver songs with a message. “Written In The Sand” proves the group as songwriters, taking a clever, unpredictable approach to writing about uncertainty in a relationship. And with “Hotel Key,” they scored their sixth number one single.
