The Great New York State Fair in Syracuse will take place Wednesday August 20, 2025 through Monday September 1, 2025. Yesterday we pointed you to a clue that was given in relation to the fair's first concert announcement for 2025.
Were you able to determine which artist the clues were for? Many guessed the Steve Miller Band but most guessed Cheap Trick. One of those guesses was correct.

The Great New York State fair announced that Cheap Trick will play the Chevy Court Stage on Thursday August 21st at 6pm. Remember all concerts are free with your $8 paid admission to the fair. Cheap Trick will spend much of the year on the road with at least 2 stops in New York.
