Herman’s Hermits Starring Peter Noone Returns to Great New York State Fair for 15th Year
Best known for hits like “I’m Henry the VIII I Am,” “I’m Into Something Good,” and “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” Herman’s Hermits became a sensation in the early 1960s.
The Great New York State Fair will welcome back a familiar face this summer as Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone is set to perform at Chevy Court on Tuesday, August 26, at 1 p.m. This marks the band’s 15th consecutive appearance at the annual event.
Best known for hits like “I’m Henry the VIII I Am,” “I’m Into Something Good,” and “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter,” Herman’s Hermits became a sensation in the early 1960s. The band has since released 14 hit singles, seven gold albums, and sold over 52 million recordings worldwide.
“Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone has been a staple at The Fair for nearly two decades,” said Fair Director Julie LaFave. “Their music connects with audiences of all ages, and they’ve drawn thousands of fans to Chevy Court every year.”
Noone, a native of Manchester, England, also enjoyed a successful acting career with guest roles in popular TV series such as Married with Children, My Two Dads, and Quantum Leap. He later hosted VH1’s My Generation, a half-hour retrospective on pop and rock music that became the network’s highest-rated program of its kind. Today, the band remains active, performing more than 200 shows annually.
The Great New York State Fair will run from Wednesday, August 20, through Labor Day, Monday, September 1. All concerts, including Herman’s Hermits, are included with admission. Tickets for the Fair will go on sale later this summer, with prices set at $8 for adults. Admission is free for children under 12 and seniors aged 65 and older.
The 2025 Chevrolet Music Series will feature 41 national recording artists, with daily performances at Chevy Court and Suburban Park. Chevy Court concerts will take place at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., while Suburban Park will host an 8 p.m. show each night. Two special 9 p.m. concerts are also scheduled for August 22 and August 29 at Chevy Court.
