The first concert of the New York State Fair’s 2024 lineup has been revealed.

Kidz Bop announced its 2024 tour dates Friday, including a Saturday, Aug. 24, performance at the New York State Fair’s Chevy Court stage. The concert, scheduled for 1 p.m., will be free with admission to the NYS Fair.

According to a press release, the Kidz Bop Live 2024 Tour will feature Aleah, JJ, Shila and Tyler performing covers of popular songs on stage, including “Dance the Night” (Dua Lipa), “Greedy” (Tate McRae) and “Vampre” (Olivia Rodrigo). The global brand, known for covers of pop hits “sung by kids for kids” with family-friendly lyrics, released a new album, “Kidz Bop 2024,” on Friday.

The tour is sponsored by the new Netflix animated series, “Unicorn Academy,” which will show content on screens before each concert and offer co-branded photo opps and activations on site.

Other upcoming Kidz Bop performances in Upstate New York include stops on July 7 at Darien Lake Amphitheater, July 14 at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, and July 26 at the Broadview Stage at SPAC in Saratoga Springs; tickets for each show will go on sale Friday, Jan. 26, at 10 a.m. through Live Nation.

The NYS Fair concert is the only show on Kidz Bop’s tour that is free (with admission to the Fair). No concert tickets are required.

The Kidz Bop Live 2024 tour is coming to the New York State Fair.

New York State Fair officials confirmed Kidz Bop’s concert Friday afternoon.

“MARK YOUR CALENDARZ: THIS SUMMER, SING AND DANCE ALONG WITH KIDZ BOP AT THE GREAT NEW YORK STATE FAIR! This summer, get a chance to sing and dance along with KIDZ BOP when they take the Chevy Court stage on Saturday, August 24 at 1:00 p.m.,” the Fair’s official social media pages said.

This will be Kidz Bop’s first appearance at the NYS Fair. Kidz Bop last visited Syracuse in 2023 for a concert at the St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater at Lakeview, now known as the Empower FCU Amphitheater at Lakeview.
