Foghat replaces Three Dog Night in Indiana State Fair free stage lineup

Classic rockers Foghat will headline the 2024 Indiana State Fair's Hoosier Lottery Free Stage on opening night.

The Aug. 2 concert originally featured Three Dog Night, who rescheduled their 2023 performance for this year. However, the band has had to again postpone several shows, including its appearance in Indianapolis, State Fair officials announced Thursday.

Foghat is known for hits like “Slowride,” “Fool For The City” and “I Just Want to Make Love to You."

They're part of a slate of free stage entertainment included with fair admission that features classic rock, soul and blues icons and a tribute to the Beatles.
