Syracuse,
NY – February 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: The Great
New York State Fair is pleased to welcome back a fan favorite act to
its Chevrolet Music Series this summer. Herman’s Hermits starring Peter
Noone will return to The Fair to play through their hits at Chevy Court
at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, August 26.
Known for hits including
“I’m Henry the VIII I Am,” “I’m Into Something Good,” and “Mrs. Brown You’ve
Got a Lovely Daughter,” Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits rose to fame in
the early 1960s. Peter was just 15 years old when the legendary pop band
started to climb the charts! Through the years, the group has amassed fourteen
hit singles, seven gold albums, and sold more than 52 million recordings.
The band still performs more than 200 concerts each year. Their appearance
on Monday August 26 will be their 14th time playing at The Great New York
State Fair.

“Herman’s Hermits starring
Peter Noone is a show that fairgoers rave about year after year. Peter’s
stage presence is incredible, but more than that, I think it’s because
these songs are timeless and apply to people of all ages,” said Fair Director
Sean
Hennessey. “It’s so fun to look out into the crowd and see that everyone
in the audience knows the words. When you can bring generations together
like Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits, you deserve a reoccurring spot in
The Fair’s musical line-up!”
The Fair starts Wednesday,
August 21, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 2. Admission will
go on sale later this summer.

Series will feature a total of 39 national recording acts, all included
