Syracuse,
NY – April 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Pop music and TV superstar
Nick Jonas brings his hits, including the smash song “Jealous,” to Chevy
Court at 6:00 p.m. on Labor Day, Monday, September 7 to close the 2015
Great New York State Fair, Acting Director Troy Waffner said.
Jonas is a multi-talented
artist stepping out on his own with his self-titled debut album and re-inventing
himself after achieving worldwide fame with The Jonas Brothers. The Grammy-nominated
group sold 20 million albums and toured the globe several times over before
calling it quits in October 2013. The album features the singles “Chains”
and “Jealous.” Jonas stars in the television show “Kingdom,” a mixed martial
arts family drama on DirecTV’s Audience Network, which was recently renewed
through 2016. Jonas plays a mixed martial arts prize fighter who holds
his cards close to his chest.
The show takes place on the
Fair’s final day, Labor Day. The successful Dollar Day on Labor Day promotion
will return for 2015, meaning that admission to the Fair will be just $1.
All rides on the Wade Shows Midway will also be $1 on Labor Day. Jonas’s
show will take place on Chevy Court at 6:00 p.m. and will be followed at
dusk by fireworks to end the day and the season.
“What a way to end the Fair!
We’ve got a huge star who will put on a terrific show, and it will never
be less expensive to see him. We’ve worked hard to provide a Chevy Court
lineup unlike any in our history, and Nick Jonas shows that we’ve done
that, from the first day to the last,” said Waffner.
