The countdown to this year’s Big E has begun — and with the Big E, of course, comes big names.
The century-old fair showcasing anything and everything New England will run from Sept. 13 to Sept. 29.
Beyond its agricultural exhibits, regional food offerings and giant parade, the 17-day festival in West Springfield, Massachusetts, is home to the Big E Arena, where some of the biggest names in the music industry take the stage each year.
Here are the performers the Big E has lined up to headline this year’s fair.
