It’s been awhile since Trace Adkins has been in Denver, and what better time for him to come back than to celebrate 30 years of doing country music.

With 40 hit singles, Adkins has been a staple of country music for three decades, and he will be back in Colorado as the headliner for the 2026 Douglas County Fair on Friday, July 24.

Tickets for the Castle Rock concert go on sale Friday, Dec. 19, at 10 a.m. on the fair’s website. A presale promo code can be obtained by joining Adkins’ Community at TraceAdkins.com.

Tickets to the other Douglas County Fair events, including the carnival and rodeos, have yet to go on sale, and dates for next year’s fair also haven’t been announced.
