Rascal Flatts gets the nod for headlining a four-act State Fair country music show in Freedom Hall on August 18, along with the Eli Young Band, Edens Edge and Little Big Town. With a stack of platinum-selling CDs to push the set list into overdrive, they might have a little problem getting in a few tunes from the new project, Changed, but since it has spawned a No. # 1 hit "Banjo" already, which makes it an even dozen No. 1 records, maybe not so much.  The Eli Young Band is working on a new No. 1, "Even If It Breaks Your Heart," while Little Big Town continues in support of The Reason Why. Edens Edge is a newcomer band, with a brand-new debut CD.All-in-all, it should be quite a night of country. Tickets are $49.50.
