Long-time friends, Joey Fatone and AJ McLean to perform at the Fair

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A duo consisting of 2000s icons is ready to head to the 2024 New York State Fair this summer.

Joey Fatone of NSYNC, and AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, will be performing at Suburban Park Stage on Wednesday, August 21, at 8 p.m.

The two began their “A Legendary Night Tour” combo back in March, as they each perform hits from their respective bands.

“AJ McLean is known by fans across the world as a beloved member of the Backstreet Boys, a musical group known for its countless hits, record-setting tours, numerous awards and worldwide sales in excess of $130 million,” said the Fair. “Joey Fatone first rose to fame as a member of the record-shattering, multi-platinum boyband *NSYNC. Following the band’s incredible success with albums that sold over 10 million copies and countless awards, Fatone took on projects spanning from television, film and Broadway, and beyond, including Fat Ones, a hot dog business based in Orlando, Florida.”

NSYNC is known for “Bye Bye Bye,” “It’s Gonna Be Me,” “Tearin’ up My Heart,” and more.

The Backstreet Boys are known for “I Want It That Way,” “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” “Larger Than Life,” and more.

“There’s nothing quite like the timeless, catchy, singalong pop music of the early 2000s,” said State Fair Interim Director Julie LaFave.
