Kicking off the fair Aug. 16, Counting Crows are on a Complete Sweets Tour of 90s-era hits.
Southern-rock anthems are promised by Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Jack Antonoff's Bleachers will bring the kind of anthemic pop he's co-written with Taylor Swift, Lorde and the like.
Grammy Award-winning artist Leon Bridges is known for his soulful voice and blend of R&B/gospel, and Sean Paul will delight with his dancehall sounds, among other Summer Night Concert highlights this year.
The 2025 PNE Fair will run from Aug. 16 to Sept. 1, daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (closed Aug. 18 and 25).
The PNE’s full entertainment program will be announced later in May; watch pne.ca for details.
