California rapper YG will perform at the 2021 Great New York State Fair at 8 p.m. Saturday, September 4 on the Chevy Park stage. The singer known for songs such as “Toot It And Boot It,” “Who Do You Love,” and “Big Bank” will perform on the Chevy Park stage in the New York Experience festival grounds. All shows in the Chevrolet Music Festival are free with $3 admission to the Fair.
Troy Waffner, Fair Director, said, “Every one of YG’s albums has been a Top 10 smash which means he’s got plenty of stories to tell for fans of rap and hip hop. This show will get us into the Fair’s final weekend in a big way.”
