One of the headlining musical acts at the State Fair of West Virginia has canceled.

Country music artist Cody Johnson, who was set to open the fair with a performance Thursday night, has canceled the show due to illness, according to a post on his social media accounts.

“We understand the inconvenience this causes with travel, plans and with purchased tickets, and we apologize for this unforeseen circumstance,” the statement said.

The cancellation includes three shows scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The statement said Johnson will attempt to reschedule a show in the market in the future.

Those who have bought tickets for the concert should receive an email from the original point of purchase regarding the tickets, the statement said.

The state fair kicks off Thursday and runs through Aug. 20. Other musical performances scheduled include Foreigner, Clay Walker, Kathy Mattea, Zach Bryan and FloRida.
