(KWAT – Watertown, SD)The South Dakota State Fair and The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources made a major concert announcement this morning for the grand opening event at the DEX in Huron. Country singer Thomas Rhett will perform on June 13th.
Ticket sales for the general public begin March 22nd.
Rhett, the son of country singer Rhett Akins, has nearly two dozen number one hits to his credit.
The DEX is the new multi-purpose facility replacing the Open Class Beef Complex destroyed by fire in 2020.
“We are very excited that the flexibility the DEX provides allows us to bring such a high-profile entertainer to central South Dakota,” said DANR Secretary Hunter Roberts. “It’s going to be a festival-like atmosphere, complete with food trucks and a post-concert after-party. I can’t wait to see you there!”
