Two musical groups with California roots have been announced as the final acts on the bill for the 2026 Big O Tires Concert Series at the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton this summer.
R&B vocalists En Vogue, known for their hits like “Hold On”, “Free Your Mind” and “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)”, are back at the fair for the first time since 2018. The current lineup of the group that originally formed in Oakland in the late 1980s will be on the Cuervo Amphitheater stage on the night of June 26.
Grammy winners Ozomatli, a Los Angeles band whose music spans salsa, hip-hop, funk, reggae and other genres, will play the concert on July 5.
“The Alameda County Fair has always been about bringing people together, and music is at the heart of that experience,” said Kristin LaPorte, marketing director of the fair. “Our 2026 concert series truly reflects the diversity and spirit of our community.”
