Steve Miller Band

After packing in nearly 37,000 screaming fans in 2015, The Great New York State Fair is thrilled to announce the return of music icons Steve Miller Band, which will perform live at Suburban Park on Thursday, August 21 at 8 p.m.

Steve 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. Miller’s 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: “The Joker,” “Take the Money and Run,” “Rock'n Me,” “Fly Like an Eagle,” “Jet Airliner,” “Jungle Love,” “Swingtown,” and “Abracadabra,” among them. 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.

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 “Abracadabra” returned to the top of the charts thanks to its prominent feature in Eminem’s smash single “Houdini.”
