Kicking off the 2008 Kentucky State Fair concert series with a bang is metal band P.O.D. Together for nearly 20 years, this band has stood the test of time. These Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artists are devoted to their fans and making music that speaks to people. The group reached out to many in the aftermath of September 11 with their positive single “Alive” and to those coping with the aftermath of many school shootings when they released their hit “Youth of the Nation.”
