2025 Battle of the Bands Winner, The Raven Kings

The Raven Kings were set to open for our Friday night headliner in 2025. When the headliner band was unable to make it to the fair due to weather on the East Coast, the Raven Kings were tapped as our main act instead. You never know what can happen at the Benton County Fair!
