| Syracuse,
NY – May 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Canadian rock band Three Days
Grace makes its first appearance at the Great
New York State Fair’s Chevy Court stage at 8 p.m. Wednesday, August
31, Acting Fair Director Troy Waffner announced.
Since first catapulting onto
the scene in 2003, Three Days Grace has consistently connected to audiences
via hard-hitting, honest, and hypnotic anthems. The platinum-selling, chart-topping,
record-setting quartet continues that tradition on their fifth full-length
album, “Human.”
The band has sold more than
6 million albums in the U.S. alone. Their catalog of number one hits encompasses
smashes such as “Chalk Outline,” “The High Road,” “Misery Loves My Company,”
“World So Cold,” “Good Life,” “Break,” “Never Too Late,” “Animal I Have
Become,” “Pain,” “Just Like You,” and “Home.”
“Three Days Grace is a veteran
band with a lot of great music. This will be a fun night out for fans of
rock and we are very happy to have the band as part of our best and most
diverse lineup ever,” said Waffner. Other performances previously announced
