Rock Legends Kansas To Headline 204th Topsfield Fair

TOPSFIELD, MA — The Topsfield Fair is bringing a legendary rock band to the North Shore fairgrounds for its 204th edition.

Kansas — best known for rock classics "Dust in the Wind" and "Carry On Wayward Son" — will headline this year's fair that runs from Sept. 30 to Oct. 10. Kansas will perform on the main stage at 7 p.m. on Oct. 6.

The show is free with paid admission to the fair.

"Everyone I have told that the Topsfield Fair will be hosting a concert by Kansas this year has been very excited and can't wait to see it, " Topsfield Fair General Manager James O’Brien said. "I expect that it will be very well attended."

Tickets for the 2022 Topsfield Fair are $20 each every day. Discount admission tickets are available here through Sept. 29.

For the first time this year, the Topsfield Fair is offering E-tickets that can be downloaded to a smartphone rather than necessitating a paper ticket.

A three-day pass, good for any three days, is available for $45 plus a $3 convenience fee. Children under 8 are free with an adult admission ticket. Discounted ride tickets are also available when purchased in advance here.
