Iowa State Fair 2025: Megan Moroney and Forrest Frank perform

DES MOINES, Iowa – The countdown to the Iowa State Fair is on and organizers have just announced the next two artists joining the 2025 Grandstand roster.

Christian musician Forrest Frank and rising country artist Megan Moroney will perform on Thursday, August 7, and Saturday, August 9, respectively.

The Frank is an up-and-coming contemporary Christian singer known for songs such as “NO LONGER BOUND” and “GOD IS GOOD.” His most recent album, “Child of God,” debuted at the top of Billboard’s Top Christian Albums list.

Frank was also recently named New Artist of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards. He is nominated for three 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

The singer will be joined in the stands by special guest Lecrae, a Christian rapper and singer.

Moroney has received many awards himself. After her initial breakthrough into the country music scene in September 2022, the Georgia native released her debut album “Am I Okay?” in July 2024.

Moroney has quickly become a fan favorite due to her storytelling skills and unique voice, and even sold out her first headlining tour in 2023. The 25-year-old recently won New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards.

Moroney will be accompanied by special guest Kameron Marlowe, a country singer-songwriter.

Tickets go on sale for both concerts on Friday, December 13th at 10 a.m. For more information, visit the Iowa State Fair website.
