It’s not officially summer yet, but it sure feels like it’s coming up quickly – especially with today’s announcement of the 2018 lineup for the free Summer Night Concerts for this year’s Pacific National Exhibition (PNE).
One of the highlights of the PNE has got to be the free summer concerts that are held every night at 8:30pm during the fair. This year, the lineup includes exciting headliners from the 70s, 80s, the 90s, and the 00s.
It’s a unique venue and a unique opportunity to watch some of your favourite bands perform for free with fair gate admission! Without having to pay the cost of a concert ticket, you’ll have even more extra cash on hand to buy a couple extra bags of delicious mini donuts! (Although, if you really want to secure a seat, you can get a reserved seat for $25 – they go on sale May 25).
This year’s lineup for the 2018 PNE Summer Concert Series lineup includes:
