Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Set to Ignite the NYS Fair with Emo Anthems
Get ready to rewind to the 2000s! The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, the band that defined an era of alternative rock, is bringing their high-energy performance to the New York State Fair. This announcement has fans buzzing with anticipation, promising a night of sing-alongs and nostalgic bliss. Why is this a big deal? Because it's not just a concert; it's a revival of anthems that resonated with millions.
Mark your calendars for Monday, August 25th at 6 p.m., as the band takes the Chevy Court stage. This performance marks their debut at the NYS Fair, adding a special touch to their already impressive resume. Best of all, the concert is free with Fair admission, making it accessible for everyone to relive their favorite hits.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus burst onto the scene in 2006 with their debut album, "Don't You Fake It," which quickly achieved platinum status. Their hit single, "Face Down," became an anthem, dominating charts and earning them a dedicated fanbase. The band's ability to connect with audiences through relatable and powerful music has resulted in over 1.2 billion streams worldwide. Fair Director Julie LaFave said, "We hope that fans of soft rock, emo, and alternative music are going to jump for joy with the news that The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is coming to The Fair for the first time. Prepare your hearts and voices, because this summer, it’s not just any show – it’s an anthem revival with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus."
Interestingly, the performance carries a local connection. Josh Burke, the band's guitarist, is an alumnus of Cicero-North Syracuse High School. He met frontman Ronnie Winter in 2010 at a Syracuse concert, recorded a demo in Florida, toured with them, and became a permanent member in 2011. This adds a heartwarming element to the show, making it a homecoming of sorts.
The New York State Fair, running from Wednesday, August 20th, through Labor Day, Monday, September 1st, promises a diverse lineup of entertainment. Other acts scheduled to perform include Nate Smith, Cheap Trick, Steve Miller Band, and Dionne Warwick, among others. With upgrades planned for Chevy Court and Suburban Park stages, the fair is set to deliver an unforgettable experience.
