A multi-platinum pop punk band will be making its return to the 2025 New York State Fair this summer. And we can’t help but say: Dear NYS Fair, Count Us In!

All Time Low will be taking the stage at Suburban Park at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 30. The concert is free with admission to the fair.

Formed in Towson, Md., All Time Low rose to prominence on the pop-punk scene in the mid-2000s with their catchy hits like “Dear Maria, Count Me In,” “Remembering Sunday,” and “Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don’t).”

The band consists of Alex Gaskarth (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jack Barakat (lead guitar, backing vocals), Zack Merrick (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Rian Dawson (drums, percussion). They’ve sold over 3.5 million albums in the U.S. and have racked up more than 5 billion global streams. The punk rockers have also snagged five consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200 and have received various multi-platinum, platinum, and gold certifications. Rolling Stone even recognized their album “So Wrong, It’s Right” as one of the “50 Greatest Pop Punk Albums.”
