Show to rock the Canfield Fair

Triple bill to feature Daughtry, Hinder and Buckcherry

A rock triple bill led by Daughtry will be the other grandstand concert for this year’s Canfield Fair.

Joining Daughtry on Sept. 2 will be Buckcherry and Hinder.

Ken Bigley, chief operating officer of JAC Live, which books the concerts for the fair, called it a good, old-fashioned rock show.

“In the eight years or so we’ve been doing this, we’ve tried a lot of different things, diversifying a bit. Over the years we’ve done everything from Toby Keith to Boyz II Men to Pentatonix to Gabriel Iglesias. It’s been a while since we did a rock show.”

Shinedown in 2021 would be the last Canfield Fair concert targeted to a similar demographic.

“Certain bands always do well in this area,” Bigley said. “Buckcherry and Hinder are a great time and love playing in Youngstown. Put Daughtry with them, and all of these bands have, give or take, a 15-year collection of hits.”

Led by Chris Daughtry, who first attracted attention as a contestant on “American Idol,” Daughtry has been one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st Century. Its self-titled debut was the top-selling album of 2007, and it featured seven singles that made the top 40 on various charts, from the Billboard Hot 100 to the Adult Contemporary and Mainstream Rock charts.

Recent hits include “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart),” a duet with Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, “Artificial” and “Pieces.”

Buckcherry has played many gigs in the Mahoning Valley since releasing its debut album in 1999, and most recently it was part of the 2023 Y Live concert headlined by Kid Rock.

Hinder also has drawn big crowds at past local concerts and is best known for its mammoth 2006 radio hit “Lips of an Angel.”

Tickets range from $39.50 to $75 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. July 12 through Ticketmaster.

Starting at $3.23/week.
