SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WTNH) — The Big E is best known for its food, vendors, state houses, and of course, its concert series.

The fair always hosts a handful of big-name artists, and this year is no different. On Thursday, organizers released the 2023 lineup. The largest stage, in the open-air venue of the Big E Arena, is set to kick off shows with country’s Parker McCollum on Sept. 17, followed by fellow country singer Chris Young. Reggae-pop star Quinn XCII will also perform, as well as rock’s Third Eye Blind.

Most notably, famed DJ Zedd will take the stage on Sept. 29. The German record producer and songwriter, who rose to stardom in the EDM community throughout the 2010’s, is known for smash hits like “Clarity,” “The Middle,” and “Stay the Night.”

Right in the middle of the fairgrounds is the Court of Honor Stage. Here, guests can see the high-energy percussion show from Street Drum Corps, the alt-rockers of Vertical Horizon, and the Billy Joel’s vocalist and rhythm guitarist Mike DelGuidice.

Emerging artists will feature fresh sounds on the E Stage. These free, daily shows include sets from Connecticut’s hip-hop/funk group Somewhat Woke and the New Hampshire-based indie-folk band Modern Fools.
