Hard rock band Sevendust will be the opening act on Friday, Aug. 14 during the 2026 Brown County Fair.
The headliner for the annual rock night at Larry Gerlach Grandstand has yet to be announced.
Sevendust has three gold albums and 32 singles that reached the top 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart between 1997 and 2023. Some of the band’s hits include “Denial,” “Praise,” “Angel’s Son,” “Enemy,” “Driven,” “Ugly,” “Unraveling,” “Decay,” “Thank You” and “Everything.”
In 2016, Sevendust was nominated for a Grammy for Best Medal Performance for “Thank You.”
Formed in Atlanta in 1994, the band has sold more than seven million albums.
“Sevendust never follow a linear path. Instead, they continue to bulldoze a lane of their own with a proven one-two punch of rumbling grooves, unpredictable riffing and stirringly soulful vocals unlike anything else in hard rock. As a result, their music connects straight to the heart, as evidenced by their full-contact live shows and diehard family of fans,” according to promotional material from the band.
