Two early 2000s pop legends will be in Upstate New York this summer to play a show at The Great New York State Fair.

Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean and NSYNC member Joey Fatone will play music from their bands at this year’s fair as part of their ongoing “A Legendary Night Tour.”

McLean and Fatone are longtime friends who were members of two of the biggest boy bands of the late 90s and early 2000s, and have since gone on to reunite with their respective groups for reunion tours.

The two artists will play on the opening night of this year’s fair on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 8 p.m.

Tickets for the concert are included with admission to the fair.

Other artists scheduled to play at this year’s fair include TLC, Dropkick Murphys, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Blue Oyster Cult.
