A Fifth Country Act Just Got Added to Free Shows at 2021 NY Fair

Holy Cow, the country acts just keep piling into Central New York. The 2021 New York State Fair just added a fifth country act to the Chevy Court Lineup of free concerts.

Another former FrogFest guest will make his debut at this year’s fair, Jamey Johnson hits the stage Tuesday, August 31 at 7PM. It will make for two country shows on the same day as the Oak Ridge Boys play at 2PM. LOCASH, the Brother's Osborne, and Russell Dickerson are also on this year's bill. All shows are included with the three dollar admission to the fair.

Now that New York has reached the 70% vaccination mark, attendance at the fair has been raised to 100%. And with current state guidelines, concerts are likely to take place on the Chevy Park stage in the New York Experience festival grounds. Protocols and guidelines can change, if you plan on attending this year's fair it would be wise to monitor the Fair's website and Social Media Pages for any changes.

More than 50 national touring shows are scheduled, making it the largest free festival of any State Fair in the US. Here's this year's full lineup.
