Fans who sign up to receive Ohio State Fair enewsletters can get access to the Ohio State Fair presale beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday and ending at 11:59 p.m. Thursday.
Each concert ticket purchased in advance includes admission to the fair, giving concertgoers and Fair fans the chance to enjoy the food, rides, entertainment, agriculture, arts and all other fair offerings before attending a show.
Daigle, who described the people of Columbus as "so kind and so fun" when she played here in 2021, has won an impressive number of awards since releasing her debut album in 2015 — four American Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, 12 GMA Dove Awards and two Grammy Awards. She's known for the No. 1 hits "First," "Trust in You," "O'Lord" and "You Say."
Twenty-one-year-old Sanchez, whose sound hearkens back to music from the 1950s and 1960s, built a fan base through a steady stream of social media content, drawing more than 122,000 followers on TikTok. His 2021 single, "Until I Found You," was a top 40 hit in the U.S. and went to No. 8 and No. 14 in Australia and the U.K., respectively. His debut album, "Angel Face," was released last year.
