Cirque du Soleil is bringing Songblazers, an innovative country-themed show, to the State Fair of Texas this autumn. This dynamic theatrical production made in partnership with Universal Music Group Nashville pays tribute to the legendary and modern trailblazers of country music.
Charting the journey of two main characters as they forge their own path to country recognition, the Songblazers show promises an unforgettable experience for audiences.
“We are thrilled to venture into the dynamic world of country music and are eager to captivate audiences with our newest theatrical creation, Songblazers," said Duncan Fisher, President of Touring Shows at Cirque du Soleil. "It’s incredibly exciting to fuse together the acrobatic artistry of Cirque du Soleil and the soul-stirring melodies of beloved country rhythms. We are looking forward to bringing Songblazers to Dallas with our partner Broadway Dallas during the well-loved State Fair of Texas."
Audiences are invited to witness breathtaking acrobatics, awe-inspiring aerial acts and displays of extraordinary strength. As the crowd grooves to beloved country tunes, they will be entranced by the breathtaking skills of Cirque du Soleil artists, honoring the rich tradition of country music while embracing its evolving spirit.
This brand-new Cirque du Soleil show will premiere this July 2024 in Nashville and will tour across the U.S. The company added seven new cities to the tour, including Dallas, Texas. Songblazers will be presented in partnership with Broadway Dallas and the State Fair of Texas at the Music Hall at Fair Park for 33 performances only from Sept. 25 to Oct. 20, 2024. Each ticket will include free admission to the fair.
"The last time Broadway Dallas hosted a show during the State Fair was in 2013," said Ken Novice, President and CEO of Broadway Dallas. "We are thrilled to partner with global entertainment powerhouse Cirque du Soleil, and our friends at The State Fair of Texas, to bring this brand-new show to Dallas. Songblazers, a journey into county music, is the perfect fit for the State Fair. We know that folks will make a full day of it by enjoying all the Fair has to offer and a world class performance in the same day."
