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.

The Fair has previously announced several shows for the free stage at Chevy Court:

  • Everclear, at 2:00 p.m. opening day, Thursday, August 27
  • Rick Springfield, at 8:00 p.m. Thursday, August 27
  • Orleans, at 2:00 p.m. Friday, August 28
  • Melissa Etheridge, at 8:00 p.m. Friday, August 28
  • The Oak Ridge Boys, at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 1

  • Meghan Trainor, at 8:00 p.m. Thursday, September 3

Concerts on Chevy Court are sponsored by Chevrolet.

The New York State Fair, operated by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, runs from August 27 – September 7, 2015. The Fair’s mission, reflected in its theme, “Summer’s Best in Show,” is to showcase the best of New York agriculture while providing top-quality entertainment.

In addition to the annual New York State Fair, the Fairgrounds host dozens of agricultural events throughout the year, including some of the Northeast’s most prestigious horse and livestock shows.

The home of the Great New York State Fair is a 375-acre exhibit and entertainment complex that operates all year. A year-round schedule of events is available on the Fair’s website.
