The Ohio State Fair has added three new acts to its summer lineup, slated July 27-Aug. 7. Willie Nelson, Ice Cube and Dayton-bred Lakeside with Con Funk Shun will be performing in the WCOL Celeste Center on the Ohio Expo Center fairgrounds.

Legendary funk group The Original Lakeside came home to play in the Schiewetz Auditorium at the Dayton Masonic Center on Sunday, December 19, 2021. Pokey Bear and comedian Wyatt Lutz kicked off the night. The show marked the band’s first local appearance since sharing the stage with the Ohio Players, Zapp, Steve Arrington and Faze-O for their 937-Live: Hometown Legends for Relief concert at Rose Music Center on September 18, 2019.
