NYS Fair Will Be ‘Bad to the Bone’ in 2023 with George Thorogood
Move it on over! The latest act to be added to the 2023 New York State Fair concert lineup is George Thorogood and the Destroyers. It will mark the Delaware-born rocker's first appearance at the Fair.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers will take the stage at Chevy Park on Saturday, August 26th at 8pm. Admission is free with the price of a State Fair ticket.
50 YEARS OF ROCK
Thorogood's August stop in Syracuse is the latest date to be added to his "Bad All Over the World" tour, which kicks off March 17th in Oregon.
Thorogood dominated rock radio during the '80s with such hits as "Bad to the Bone," "I Drink Alone," "Who Do You Love?" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer." Thorogood has released more than 20 albums with his band the Destroyers, including two that have earned Platinum certification.
Although it will be Thorogood's State Fair debut, he's no stranger to Central New York, having played the Showroom at Turning Stone Resort & Casino back in September of 2021.
