The fair announced Wednesday that Tyler Hubbard and For King & Country will be joining this year's Grandstand setlist.
For King & Country will take the stage Thursday, Aug. 10 with special guest We The Kingdom. The Grammy-winning Christian pop duo first came to prominence after their 2014 album "Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong." spent 17 weeks on the Billboard 200.
