Preview by Brad Balfour\/Paddy McCarthy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great New York State Fair is happening again this coming summer. So be ready as there will be great talent with music for everybody\u2019s taste. The Fair starts Wednesday, August 20, 2025, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All concerts are included in the price of admission, which will go on sale later this summer. The Great New York State Fair is the most affordable state fair in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1841, The Fair showcases the best of New York agriculture, provides top-quality entertainment, and is a key piece of the state\u2019s CNY Rising, a strategy of growing the Central New York economy through tourism. It is the oldest fair in the United States and is consistently recognized as being among the top five state fairs in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Great NYS Fair promises the best in entertainment so bring all the family as there will be something for everyone I promise you that. Said\u00a0Fair Director Julie LaFave. \u201cCircle your calendars \u2013 this is one you won\u2019t want to miss. Coming to the fair is The Steve Miller Band, one of the most iconic bands in music history with too many megahits to count. Every year, we survey fairgoers to help inform our entertainment decisions and results always point to the popularity of our rock shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFairgoers asked and we\u2019ve listened! Miller drew one of the largest crowds in the Fair\u2019s history and I can\u2019t wait to see how many people pack into Suburban Park on August 21 at 8 pm for what I\u2019m sure will be a show for the ages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After packing in nearly 37,000 screaming fans in 2015, The Fair announces the return of music icons Steve Miller Band. Miller has been a monumental presence on the American music scene for more than half a century. His releases have sold tens of millions of records and have been streamed billions of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miller\u2019s Greatest Hits 1974-78 received the RIAA Diamond Award with sales of more than fifteen million copies, making it among the 25 best-selling albums of all time. Beginning in the 1970s, Miller crafted a brand of pure pop that was smart, polished, exciting and irresistible – and that dominated radio in a way that few artists have ever managed. Hit followed hit in what seemed like an endless flow: \u201cThe Joker,\u201d \u201cTake the Money and Run,\u201d \u201cRock’n Me,\u201d \u201cFly Like an Eagle,\u201d \u201cJet Airliner,\u201d \u201cJungle Love,\u201d \u201cSwingtown,\u201d and \u201cAbracadabra,\u201d among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this day, those songs are instantly recognizable the moment you hear them – and impossible not to sing along with. Their hooks are the very definition of indelible. As an influential presence in music, Steve Miller was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and was later enshrined in the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the Steve Miller Band continues to entertain fans across the world. In 2024, the group played to nearly one million fans and toured alongside Def Leppard and Journey. Their platinum-selling single \u201cAbracadabra\u201d returned to the top of the charts thanks to its prominent feature in Eminem\u2019s smash single \u201cHoudini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fair will also host two special shows at 9 p.m. on Friday, August 22 and 29 at Chevy Court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
