Joan Jett to Perform Free Concert in Upstate New York this Summer

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will perform on the final day of the 2021 New York State Fair. See the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer on Monday September 6th at 1pm on the Chevy Park stage in the New York Experience festival area near the Midway. This show is free with $3 admission to the Fair.

Ironically Joan Jett was on the 2020 schedule but due to the pandemic the fair was cancelled. Now she returns almost exactly 1 year from her scheduled appearance in 2020.
