SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Is January too early to get in the mood for the Fair? The Great New York State Fair has officially announced its first concert for the 2025 season after previously posting a hint to social media. Their 'concert clue' included a magician holding a rabbit, a hat, and a $.99 price tag. And with an overall positive reaction to the Fair's virtual game, many commenters guessed correctly — the answer is, Cheap Trick! The American rock band is scheduled to perform at Chevy Court on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 6 p.m. This is the first out of 41 concerts that are set to be announced before the Fair begins in August. 'With so many songs that you can still hear at karaoke nights across the world, Cheap Trick is part of the fabric of pop culture and is sure to have fairgoers on their feet,' said Fair Director Julie LaFave. According to the Fair, they will also host two special shows at 9 p.m. on Friday, August 22 and 29 at Chevy Court.
