Rock Night Returns to the 2026 Dubuque County Fair!

It's been two years since Dubuque was able to rock out at the Dubuque County fair when Skillet and Theory of a Deadman came to town. As a rock fan myself, I was pumped to see another awesome rock band back on the headlining bill for 2026. Trust me, these guys are gonna' put on a killer show.

That band is none other than Sleep Theory, set to headline Friday, July 31st, 2026. Sleep Theory has taken the rock world by storm, blending hard-hitting metalcore riffs with massive vocal hooks from powerhouse frontman Cullen Moore.

In less than two years, they’ve become the fifth most-played artist on Active Rock radio, and their hit “Fallout” ranked as the ninth most-played rock song in 2024. Touring with the likes of Shinedown, Falling In Reverse, and Beartooth, Sleep Theory knows how to deliver energy and intensity on stage.

Fans can expect a setlist loaded with tracks from their debut album Afterglow and the Paper Hearts EP, combining heavy rock anthems, pop-infused melodies, and emotional ballads. Their sound has earned praise from Revolver, Loudwire, and Amazon Music, labeling them an Artist to Watch in 2025. Whether you’re headbanging, singing along, or just soaking in the energy, Sleep Theory will bring a performance that hits all the right notes. These guys are even going to feature in these years' Warped Tour.
