WOODSTOCK VA: (ROCKTOWN NOW) – The Shenandoah County Fair has announced a change to its Friday, August 29th entertainment lineup. Due to a personal injury, Christian music artist Crowder will no longer be able to perform. Fair officials extended their well-wishes for his recovery and shared that Grammy-nominated performer Tauren Wells will now headline the evening’s concert in Crowder’s place.

For those who purchased tickets to the Crowder concert, those same tickets will be honored for the Tauren Wells performance. Attendees will retain their original seating and concert time, and no new tickets will be issued for the replacement performance.

Anyone wishing to receive a refund will be sent an email with instructions on how to proceed. Refund requests must be submitted by 9:00 a.m. on Friday, August 15th. If no action is taken before that deadline, tickets will automatically remain valid for the Tauren Wells concert.

Additional updates are forthcoming, and tickets for the Tauren Wells show will go on sale beginning Friday, August 8th at 9:00 a.m. Fair organizers encourage attendees to stay tuned for more information.
