Geddes, N.Y. - You'll get to "Twist Again" this year at the New York State Fair.
Chubby Checker is returning to the Fair this year. He hasn't been here since 2013. The 80-year-old legend whose career spans more than 60 years, will return to the Chevy Court stage at 1 on Monday, August 29.
This August’s performance will be his fourth at the Fairgrounds, having performed in 1981, 1995 and 2013. Though he is best known for “The Twist,” the first number one song of all time from the Billboard’s Hot 100, he first topped the music charts in 1959 with “The Class.” He released singles through the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and most recently in the early 2000s.
Checker is also known for covering popular 1960s hits during his concerts.
