Jamey Johnson will replace Toby Keith at the Wisconsin State Fair

Country artist Jamey Johnson is stepping in for Toby Keith for the Wisconsin State Fair's opening night main stage show.

Keith was originally supposed to play the fair Aug. 4, but canceled the performance and other summer dates earlier this month after revealing he was being treated for stomach cancer. 

Tickets for Johnson's fair show are $40 to $50, available beginning at 9 a.m. Wednesday at wistatefair.com. Tickets cover fair general admission Aug. 4. Alex Miller, who was initially booked to open for Keith at the fair, is still on the bill.

Returning Aug. 4 to 14, the fair's main stage lineup includes: Kansas with Asia, Aug. 5; Jeff Dunham, Aug. 6; the Happy Together tour, Aug. 7; Zach Williams, Aug. 8; Kidz Bop Live, Aug. 9; Charlie Berens, Aug. 10; Tesla, Aug. 11; Nelly, Aug. 12; Brett Young, Aug. 13; and the Oak Ridge Boys, Aug. 14.
