New York State Fair Drops Epic All-Day Concert for 2025

The New York State Fair’s concert lineup just keeps getting bigger—and this time, it’s a full day of funky music.

More than three dozen national recording artists rocked the stages at Chevy Court and Suburban Park in 2024.

This year, the Chevrolet Music Series is turning up the volume with 41 national acts on the schedule. The latest addition? Everything you want....especially if you're an R&B fan.
