Syracuse,
NY – July 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / It’ll be a night of tight
harmonies and high glamour when pop singing group Fifth Harmony takes the
stage at Chevy Court
at the Great New York State Fair
Friday, September 4 at 8 p.m., Acting Fair Director Troy Waffner announced.
The show takes place during the Fair’s Student Day, when anyone age 18
or younger is admitted free with identification that shows the date of
birth.
2015 has been a big year
for Fifth Harmony – Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Lauren Jauregui, Camila
Cabello, and Dinah Jane. During the spring, they achieved “Favorite New
Artist” at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, performed at the White
House Annual Easter Egg Roll and received widespread critical acclaim for
their headline “Reflection Tour.” Their much anticipated debut album “Reflection”
debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 in January and solidified Fifth Harmony’s
place at the top of pop. The album includes their current platinum smash
“Worth It” which is in the top 5 on Top 40 radio and top 15 on the Billboard
Hot 100 along with platinum singles “BO$$” and “Sledgehammer.” Fifth Harmony
is on the road currently for “Reflection: The Summer Tour.”
“This is going to be a fun,
family-friendly night of great pop music by young women with amazing voices
and positive stories to tell. They respect the music and musicians who
came before them and put their own spin on today’s sounds. This will be
a terrific show, and one of the highlights of a 2015 Chevy Court concert
series that I believe is the greatest lineup we’ve ever had,” said Waffner.
