We’re far from “All Out of Love” at The Great New York State Fair— we’re “Lost in Love” as international soft rock favorites Air Supply return to the Chevy Court stage on Sunday, August 30 at 6 p.m.
Formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1975, Air Supply has grown into one of the world’s most beloved rock acts. Known for their lush melodies and heartfelt lyrics, the duo achieved international fame with hits like “The One That You Love,” “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” “Every Woman in the World,” and “Here I Am.” With a career spanning more than five decades and over 100 million records sold worldwide, they continue to captivate audiences with their timeless sound and emotive performances.
Now marking over 50 years in the industry, Air Supply continues to perform sold out shows to adoring fans. The legendary duo is riding a banner year in 2026, with a global tour across North America, Australia, South America, Europe, and Asia, alongside a biopic in development, an upcoming star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the release of their first studio album in 15 years, A Matter of Time.
“We’re pleased to welcome Air Supply back to The Fair,” said Fair Director Julie LaFave. “Their iconic songs have connected with generations of fans, and we can’t wait to experience their legendary music live. It’s going to be a special night for fairgoers!”
The Fair starts Wednesday, August 26, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 7. 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. Tickets are $8 for adults while admission is free for children under 12 and senior citizens aged 65 and older.
