Diplo to Play as Thomas Wesley at Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo

Under his country-inspired Thomas Wesley moniker, Diplo is slated to play the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo in Redmond, Oregon.


Diplo is a man of many faces. He’s a musical chameleon who can blend into any environment. And on August 1, as part of the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo in Redmond, Oregon, the highly influential DJ and producer will give the audience a long-overdue taste of his Thomas Wesley project.

Thomas Wesley Pentz is the full name of Diplo, who first made a name for himself as a DJ and producer in Philadelphia. He’s covered a lot of ground in the two decades since. After collaborating with the likes of M.I.A., Skrillex, Kid Cudi, and Justin Bieber over the years, he even set his sights on country music.

Pentz launched Thomas Wesley in 2019 with the release of a single titled “So Long” featuring country singer Cam. He then debuted the project live when he performed at that year’s edition of Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California.

He hasn’t abandoned his foray into country since then. In 2023, Pentz released Thomas Wesley: Chapter 2 – Swamp Savant. The album consisting of country-infused dance tracks features collaborators like Morgan Wade, Billy Ray Cyrus, Orville Peck, Kodak Black, and the Jonas Brothers.

Enter the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo

And that takes us to this summer, when Pentz will touch down in Redmond for a performance at the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo. It’s not often that he gets to play out his Thomas Wesley fare. This is a rare chance to get to know a different side of this celebrated recording artist in the ideal setting for it.

That’s because the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo mixes the down-home charm of Redmond with all manner of world-class attractions. Having first taken place in 1920, the event has grown to draw over 170,000 attendees across five days. Anyone lucky enough to attend is treated to carnival rides, games, demolition derbies, and mouthwatering food options.

Diplo is just one of the amazing headlining acts featured in the Kendall Toyota of Bend FREE Summer Concert Series, presented by Indian Head Casino at the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo. Diplo’s concert on August 1 is free with Fair admission, giving fans a chance to see a global superstar live in Central Oregon. Want to elevate your experience? VIP tickets are available for just $29 (plus fees), offering access to exclusive areas for an unforgettable night.

The Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center has solidified its reputation as a premier venue in the Northwest. It welcomed the Cascade Equinox Festival, whose lineups have included headliners like Pretty Lights, Goose, Big Wild, Phantogram, Trevor Hall & The Great In-Between, Of The Trees, Emancipator, and Fruition in one year, followed by artists such as Jungle, CloZee, STS9, Liquid Stranger, and Marc Rebillet the next.

The venue also hosted the FairWell Festival, bringing major names like Zach Bryan, Turnpike Troubadours, and Willie Nelson & Family, alongside Charley Crockett, Morgan Wade, and Trampled By Turtles. With a scenic Central Oregon backdrop and growing national visibility, the Fair & Expo continues to attract top-tier talent and passionate music fans from across the region — and it looks forward to welcoming even more concerts, festivals, and events of all kinds in the future.
