Iconic Rock Group To Headline 2025 Durham Fair

DURHAM, CT — The legendary rock group Styx will be headlining the Durham Fair this fall. The show is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m.

The seven-man band is known for hits like "Come Sail Away," "Blue Collar Man," and "Renegade."

Styx plays an average of 100 shows each year. The group "draws from over five decades of chart hits, singalongs, and hard-driving cuts," according to the Durham Fair's website.

Styx released its 17th studio album, "Crash of the Crown," in 2021. Its latest album, "Circling from Above," is scheduled for release Friday, July 18.

The 105th Annual Durham Fair is scheduled for Sept. 25 to 28.

"In 1916, the Durham Fair began a tradition that continues today during the last full weekend in September when the fairgrounds come alive and magically transform into Connecticut’s largest agricultural fair," according to the fair's website. "Come visit the Durham Fair, and you’ll see what a real fair is all about—with live entertainment on four stages, thrilling motorized events, rides and games on the Midway, and first-class animal competitions."

The fair includes numerous exhibit halls, a discovery center, and a farm museum, featuring crafts and exhibits.

The fair is owned and operated by the Durham Agricultural Fair Association, Inc., a private, not-for-profit corporation.
