The Mavericks to Perform at The 2021 Great New York State Fair

June 24, 2021 Press Releases

The award-winning group The Mavericks will bring its unique blend of country, rock, R&B, Latin and roots music to the 2021 Great New York State Fair Sunday, September 5. The band behind hits such as “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down” and “O What A Thrill” will perform at 7 pm on the Chevy Court stage. The Mavericks hit #1 late last year with their first all-Spanish album, En Español, and hit the road for a nationwide tour this fall. All shows in the Chevrolet Music Festival are free with $3 admission to the Fair.

Troy Waffner, Fair Director, said, “No other group sounds like the Mavericks. Their last show here in 2019 was nearly rained out and we’re glad they could come back so they can play for a much larger audience.”

The Mavericks join a lineup of more than 50 national touring shows presented in the Chevrolet Music Festival, the largest free music festival at any state fair in America. Shows announced to date include:
