'Stuck Like Glue' band Sugarland were due to take the stage at the Indiana fair on Saturday, when the stage caved in and forced 12,000 concert goers to evacuate.
Sugarland's singer Jennifer Nettles later said that she was "stunned and heartbroken" by the stage collapse, which killed five people.
In the wake of the tragedy, Jackson has axed her scheduled gig at the Indiana State Fair, which was to be held on Wednesday.
Lady Antebellum have also cancelled their Friday appearance at the fair, saying in a statement: "We were so sad to hear what happened and have kept the families of those injured and especially those that lost their lives in our prayers."
Maroon 5 and Train plan to go ahead with their scheduled Thursday show at the Indiana State Fair, but will hold the concert at nearby Conseco Fieldhouse.
Ryan Seacrest, Kelly Clarkson, and LeAnn Rimes have all paid tribute to the victims of the Indiana State Fair stage collapse.
