PNE reveals summer concert lineup for 2025

The lineup for this year's summer night concert series at the PNE fair was announced Wednesday.

The PNE has unveiled the lineup of artists who will take the stage for its summer concert series this year, and there are some heavy hitters.

The list includes rock legends, pop superstars, Canadian icons and chart-toppers from a variety of genres.

Attendees will have the chance to sing along to hits such as Tom Cochrane’s “Life is a Highway,” Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass,” Flo Rida’s “Low,” the Gipsy Kings’ “Bamboléo,” and Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is.”

This year’s concerts will take place indoors at the Pacific Coliseum, as the new outdoor amphitheatre is still under construction.

“This summer’s musical offerings promise to be a celebration of diverse genres, featuring some of the biggest names in rock, pop, hip-hop, world music, and more,” reads a Wednesday news release from the PNE announcing the series. “Admission to the fair is included with the purchase of a concert ticket!”

The PNE Fair runs from Aug. 16 to Sept. 1, except for the Mondays of Aug. 18 and 25, and there’s a show every night. Entertainers on two dates—Aug. 21 and 31—are yet to be announced.
