The 2025 New York State Fair concert lineup is one of the best in a long time — if you’re a Millennial.
More than 40 national acts are scheduled to perform at the NYS Fair’s two main stages, Suburban Park and Chevy Court, between Aug. 20 and Sept. 1. Of those, nearly half of them are artists who first became popular when Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) were teenagers.
Big names on the schedule include rappers Shaggy, Lil Jon and Busta Rhymes; boy band 98 Degrees; rock groups Sister Hazel, Live, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Vertical Horizon, Los Lonely Boys, O.A.R. and Neon Trees; country star Dustin Lynch; and tributes to pop icons Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. All of them had top 10 hits between 1996 and 2015.
