Country music recording artist to perform at this summer’s 2026 Chilliwack Fair

CHILLIWACK – The Chilliwack & District Agricultural Society announced Wednesday that country music performer Nate Haller will headline the Friday night concert at the 154th Chilliwack Fair this summer.

According to a news release, Nate Haller has firmly cemented himself as one of Canadian country’s premier talents since his debut as a solo artist, elevating his unique vocals and energetic live show to some of the biggest stages across the nation.

After over a decade of experience in the music business as a session player for some of Canada’s top artists, Haller stepped onto the centre stage with his first single “Lighting In A Bottle”, which earned him his first Top 10 in Canadian radio.

Haller has maintained this momentum with his latest single “Backfire” featuring Tenille Townes, rewarding him with his first Top #3. To date, Haller has amassed over 33 million global streams and drawn attention from the Canadian country music industry, thanks to multiple CCMA Award nominations (2023 Breakthrough Artist, 2022 Rising Star), winning multiple CMA Ontario Awards (2023 Album of the Year for “Party In The Back”, 2022 Rising Star), and being selected as one of four artists to participate in the 2023/2024 Allan Slaight JUNOs Master Class.

Haller has also been named an iHeart Radio Future Star, an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist of the Month, secured a spot on Spotify Canada’s RADAR program, and appeared as the cover artist for countless prominent playlists. He’s also garnered main stage performances at major festivals including Boots and Hearts, Lasso, the Calgary Stampede, and Country Thunder, Cavendish Beach Music Festival. He got 2026 off to a great start earlier this year with the announcement of his first headlining tour across Canada, as well as his new single “Thought About You,” available everywhere now.

Haller’s performance will follow the Friday night rodeo. The concert is included with the price of admission and should start at approximately 9 p.m.
