Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Season 15 winner Trent Harmon kicks off the shows on the Froggy 107.7 country music stage with a performance at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

The Froggy 107.7 shows are free with admission to the fair — $8 for adults (parking on site is another $7). Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and you’ll want to get there early because these shows are very popular.

Trent also performed at the fair back in 2016.

Then, on Wednesday, Sept. 12, The American Idol Top 7 will perform on the York Fair Grandstand. Tickets for that show range from $15 to $30, plus fees. And when I checked Sunday, plenty of good tickets were still available.

Concert goers are actually probably going to be seeing six of the Top 7.

Jurnee announced in mid-July that she was leaving the show for 30 days of vocal rest, but she’s yet to return, and the York Fair show is one of the last of the American Idol Live Tour.

That would leave a lineup of Maddie Poppe, Caleb Lee Hutchinson, Gabby Barrett, Michael Woodard, Cade Foehner and Catie Turner.

Head here for more information on the 2018 York Fair. Other grandstand performers during the fair’s week-plus run include Alice Cooper, Gabriel Iglesias, MercyMe and Sesame Street Live.
