The Beach Boys, featuring original member Mike Love and singer-songwriter Bruce Johnston, a member since 1965, play June 25.

On June 26, country singer Rodney Atkins, fresh from the February release of his first hit compilation album, “Rodney Atkins -- Greatest Hits,” will perform. His latest single is “Eat Sleep Love You Repeat.”

Tanya Tucker, who first hit the pop and country charts with “Delta Dawn” at age 13, has scored 23 albums on the Top 40 charts and 10 number-one country singles since her debut in 1972. She’ll perform June 27 at the fair.
