The Mississippi Valley Fair announced the final act on its Grand Stand lineup for 2024 on Wednesday.
Alice Cooper, the "School's Out" singer and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, will play the penultimate day of the Mississippi Valley Fair's concert series in August, rounding out a lineup of other rock, country and hip-hop acts.
On Tuesday, July 30, Thomas Rhett will perform. Rhett's hits "Die a Happy Man," "Unforgettable," "Look What God Gave Her" and "Marry Me" have all reached over 200 million streams on Spotify.
On Wednesday, July 31, the Grand Stand stage will feature two acts: reckless country rocker Koe Wetzel and bombastic country pop star Priscilla Block.
The lineup pivots from country to hip-hop on Thursday, with crunk pop icon T-Pain billed to perform on Aug. 1. The Florida rapper, with his signature autotune sound, has amassed Grammy awards, Billboard-topping hits and collaborations with names like Rihanna and Lil Wayne. He also performed in Moline with Soulja Boy in 2007.

On Aug. 2, Poison frontman Bret Michaels is billed in what will likely be "Nothin' But A Good Time." Michaels has had hits with both Poison and his solo career. He's also been a staple of reality TV, appearing in "The Celebrity Apprentice," "The Masked Singer" and his own show, "Rock of Love."
Cooper will play the Saturday night set on Aug. 3. The rocker will bring his signature blend of horror theatrics and pop rock to the Quad-Cities for the coveted weekend slot. Cooper performed at Vibrant Arena at The Mark in 2018.
Closing out the Grand Stand series is Scotty McCreery, once a boy wonder on "American Idol" and now an established country pop star. His latest record, "Same Truck," has two certified Gold singles, joining his already established hits "Five More Minutes" and "This Is It."
Entry to the Grand Stand and the fair as a whole can be purchased with a Mississippi Valley Fair Fun Card, with early bird prices at $105 until the end of June, when they will increase to $130.
Fans wanting to get closer to the action can get a Mississippi Valley Fair Pepsi One Card, which sell for $150 and include a commemorative laminate and early entrance to the concert.
