DU QUOIN – The Du Quoin State Fair is excited to welcome Tucker Wetmore to the Grandstand stage on Saturday, August 30. With an explosive rise in the country music scene, Wetmore brings his powerhouse vocals and hit-filled setlist to one of Southern Illinois’ biggest summer stages.
Wetmore has rapidly cemented himself as a breakout country star, racking up over 855 million streams in just one year. He burst onto the scene with RIAA PLATINUM-certified debut singles “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You”, both earning spots on the Billboard Hot 100. Fresh off his first-ever headlining Waves on a Sunset tour and recent performances with Kameron Marlowe and Luke Bryan, Wetmore’s 2025 is already on fire — including a direct support slot on Thomas Rhett’s Better In Boots tour.
