Rock band Hinder will bring its signature sound to Chevy Court at The Great New York State Fair on Monday, August 31, at 6 p.m., giving fans the chance to experience one of modern rock’s most recognizable acts live.
Known for its chart-topping hit “Lips of an Angel,” Hinder has built a successful career spanning more than 20 years. The band first gained widespread attention with its triple-platinum debut album, Extreme Behavior, followed by the successful release of Take It to the Limit.
Over the years, Hinder has remained a strong presence on rock radio while continuing to perform for audiences across the country.
Most recently, the group released Back to Life, offering fresh music alongside the classic songs that have generated hundreds of millions of streams worldwide.

With both chart-topping hits and new favorites, this is a show that longtime fans and first-time listeners alike won’t want to miss.”
