April 26th, 2010

Lady Antebellum, the hottest group in American country music, will perform a free concert at the New York State Fair’s Chevy Court this summer, anchoring a lineup designed to make the Fair one of the top free entertainment venues in the country.

The band, which took home five trophies from the Academy of Country Music Awards Sunday, topping all winners, will play at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 1.

Also scheduled to play Chevy Court during the 2010 Fair are the classic rock bands Kansas and Blue yster Cult, rising country star the Eli Young Band and Blues Traveler.

The five concerts will be among 24 performances by national artists on the Chevy Court stage during this year’s Fair. All of those shows will be free to Fairgoers for the price of Fair admission.

This year’s list of free Chevy Court performers so far includes:

Blue yster Cult. The classic rock group, which has sold 14 million albums, will perform at 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27. Familiar hits include “Godzilla,” “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” and “Burnin’ for You.”

Kansas. The progressive rock musicians who produced the classic anthems “Dust in the Wind,” and “Carry on Wayward Son” during the 1970s, will play at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27.
