Over the years, that list of musicians has only grown as the fair continues to nab talent right before their eventual explosion onto the music scene - for example, Machine Gun Kelly last year. In years past, the festival has secured both rising talent and bona fide legends that have gone on to shape the music industry, including Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, "Weird Al" Yankovic, The Supremes, Destiny's Child and Little Richard to name a few.

The Supremes, Fergie, "Weird Al" Yankovic and Paris Hilton are just some of the big names that have graced the stage of the Big E.
