Hairball

Hairball will bring the ultimate '80s rock 'n' roll tribute to the Bank Five Nine Main Stage with their meticulous recreation of the iconic sounds and styles of legends like Van Halen, KISS, Queen and more on opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair, Thursday, August 6. 

Hairball doesn't just put on a concert – they put on an event! Over the past 25 years, Hairball has evolved into an explosive national touring act that brings the glory of the '80s to hundreds of thousands of fans throughout the country with a drop-dead accurate homage to the biggest arena acts in the world. This bombastic, action-packed party is chock-full of surprises and guaranteed to thrill. 

All seating for this show is reserved, and tickets range from $34 – $49. Each concert ticket includes admission to the State Fair for the day of the show when purchased prior to entering the State Fair. Venue opens at 6:30pm for show seating. 

Wisconsin State Fair is not responsible for tickets purchased from third parties. No single ticket for this concert should exceed a ticket price of $49. 

Hairball doesn't just put on a concert – they put on an event! Hairball is a rock 'n' roll experience you won't soon forget. The lights, sound, special effects and electric energy of avid fans … to merely call it a concert would be like calling Mount Rushmore a roadside attraction!  

Vocalists Kris Vox, Dave Moody and Patrick Stone lead the band through a 2+ hour, mind-blowing, and drop-dead accurate homage to some of the biggest arena acts in the world. Van Halen, KISS, Mötley Crüe, Queen, Journey and Aerosmith are but a few of the acts fans will see brought to life. The Hairball stage becomes an entirely new rock concert before your very eyes countless times throughout the night. 

The motor that drives the Hairball dragster consists of HBK on the electric bass, Billy on the drums and Happy on the lead guitar. These rock 'n' roll soldiers pride themselves on nailing some of the most memorable licks and chops of all time, while adding their own style and flare that they've cultivated over decades of tireless performing. This isn't a side job. These guys eat, sleep and breathe rock 'n' roll! 

This year finds Hairball celebrating its 26th year of rocking hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Constantly adding more characters, more pyrotechnics, more lights, more sound, more props, more surprises…more everything! While Happy often tells the audience, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life," Hairball performs every show as though it could be their last. Every night is a 100% full-on, no-holds-barred, exciting, chaotic, fiery party that has to be experienced to be believed! 

As important to Hairball as the music are its fans. While many bands claim to have the best fans in the world, Hairball actually does! Whether they are 10 years old or 100, Hairball fans bring an unparalleled enthusiasm and energy to the show that enhances the arena experience. Hairball takes every opportunity to let their fans know just how grateful they are of their continuous support and enthusiasm. 

Whether it's a pre-show meet and greet, hanging out at the merch booth, or chatting online, Hairball has a lot in common with its fans, and it's always a good time when they get together. Don't confuse Hairball with the countless "'80s Tribute" bands across the country. Hairball is an experience, an attitude and expression of music that isn't simply a retro flashback; it's a way of life!
