For the 16th year in a row, The Great New York State Fair will welcome back Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, giving fans another chance to enjoy their iconic music live. The group is scheduled to perform at the Chevy Court stage at 1 p.m. on Thursday, September 3, as part of the Fair’s 2026 entertainment lineup.
Known for chart-topping hits like “I’m Into Something Good,” “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” and “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” Peter Noone and his band rose to international fame during the 1960s British Invasion.
Over the years, Herman’s Hermits have built an impressive legacy, earning fourteen hit singles, seven gold albums, and selling more than 52 million records worldwide.
“Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone has been a cherished part of the Fair for nearly two decades,” said Fair Director Julie LaFave. “Noone’s charismatic performances continue to resonate with audiences of all ages.”
In addition to his music career, Noone has enjoyed success in television and entertainment. He has appeared in guest roles on well-known shows such as Married with Children, My Two Dads, Laverne & Shirley, and Quantum Leap. He also hosted VH1’s My Generation, which became the highest-rated half-hour pop/rock retrospective in television history.
Today, Noone continues to perform globally, with the band playing more than 200 shows each year. Noone also hosts a popular Sirius/XM radio program, Something Good with Peter Noone, airing Saturdays at 5 p.m. EST.
The Great New York State Fair will run from Wednesday, August 26, through Labor Day, Monday, September 7. All concerts are included with admission.
Ticket prices are set at $8 for adults, while children under 12 and seniors aged 65 and older can attend for free.
The 2026 Chevrolet Music Series will feature 41 national acts, with daily performances at Chevy Court and Suburban Park, along with two special evening shows scheduled during the fair.
