L.A. County Fair concert lineup

Did we print this in the newspaper? I don’t remember it. Well, whether we did or not, here’s the lineup, starting with the return of a much-loved, much-mocked mainstay on opening night:

* War — Friday, Sept. 5

Sugarland — Saturday, Sept. 6

The Doobie Brothers and Grand Funk Railroad — Sunday, Sept. 7

Monster Truck Madness — Thursday, Sept. 11

Smokey Robinson — Friday, Sept. 12

KC & The Sunshine Band with Village People — Saturday, Sept. 13

Jaguares — Sunday, Sept. 14

American Daredevils — Thursday, Sept. 18

The Bangles, Berlin and The Motels — Friday, Sept. 19

Jessica Simpson — Saturday, Sept. 20

Mariachi USA Fiesta — Sunday, Sept. 21

Guilherme Marchi Classic Professional Bull Riders — Thursday, Sept. 25

Charlie Wilson & the Gap Band, Rose Royce and Lakeside — Friday, Sept. 26

LG World Championships of Freestyle Motocross — Saturday, Sept. 27

Lifehouse, Gavin Rossdale – Sunday, Sept. 28

Right now I can see myself going to see the ’80s night (Bangles, Berlin and the Motels), and maybe this is the year I finally go to Monster Truck Madness — although I say that every year. Having seen Smokey at the fair twice already, I’ll pass. Jessica Simpson in Pomona? That might be worth seeing just for the unreality of it.

A friend is totally excited about Lifehouse — she’s only been to the fair twice, and both times it was to see Lifehouse — so I’ve politely avoided letting on that I have no idea who they are.
