Looks like it’s going to be another great year for Big E, Berkshire County. We’ve known for a little while now about some of the musical groups that will be performing at the Big E Arena for this year’s State Fair, like Nelly, Sublime with Rome, Brantley Gilbert and the Dropkick Murphys.

However, I’m happy to report that the Big E just announced the 2022 Court of Honor stage lineup on Tuesday. blues, country, alternative and hip-hop.

Keep in mind that the lineup is subject to change, but as of now, here are the artists and the dates they are scheduled to perform:
