Up-and-Coming Singers to Perform at the Dubuque County Fair

The music lineup at the Dubuque County Fair just got better with the announcement of two rising names in country music set to take the stage on Thursday, July 30th, 2026.

It's also a good reminder that the Dubuque County Fair is just a few months away, as hard as it is to believe. This year, it's happening Tuesday, July 28th - August 2nd. As the fair's events and entertainment lineup begin to crystalize, you can already see the fair's trademark Country Night fully materialize with the addition of two names that have been rising exponentially in the country music stratosphere.

Today, it was announced that Dylan Marlowe and opening act Atlus will be taking the stage for Country Night at the Dubuque County Fair on Thursday, July 30th, 2026. These are two artists who have been making a significant impact on the genre, and will be taking their talents to Dubuque this summer.

Hailing from Denver, CO, Atlus has opened for Jelly Roll and bears a lot of similarities to the singer. His music is influenced by pop, rock, and hip-hop stylings, and his lyrics of overcoming struggles, pushing boundaries, and his ever-evolving development as a man and an artist.

Atlus is primed to make even bigger waves in the very near future. Moreover, at age 28, Dylan Marlowe has already found some significant mainstream success in the genre. Marlowe's debut single "Boys Back Home," featuring Dylan Scott, appeared on multiple different charts, and served as the lead single for his debut album Mid-Twenties Crisis.

Tickets for the Country Night concert at the Dubuque County Fair will go on sale on today (Monday, March 9th, 2026) on the fairgrounds' website.
