Blue Öyster Cult will rock the Chevy Court stage for the third time at the Great New York State Fair.
SNL and 80's music fans rejoice! Blue Oyster Cult original core members, Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (guitar, vocals) and Eric Bloom (guitar, keyboards, vocals) lead the band through its 45-years of music, including the iconic "Don't' Fear the Reaper." will take Chevy Court on Friday, September 1 at 8 pm.

Blue Öyster Cult, a significant influence for Metallica, was listed in VH1's countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time. Allmusic.com calls the band "the thinking man's heavy metal group," "makers of music that are ambitious, intelligent, and rocking in a strangely sensual kind of way."
