Get ready for the summer at the PNE — it has announced its full concert program.

This year’s Fair and Summer Night Concerts will go from August 16 until September 1.

For fifteen days, the non-profit’s fair delights hundreds of thousands of visitors with its family-friendly atmosphere, food, rides, and the now-announced music headliners.

Every music artist will perform on the stage at the Pacific Coliseum.

The Counting Crows will kick off the concert series into the summer, playing hits like Accidentally in Love from the beloved movie Shrek 2 and others.

The lineup continues rocking the stage with legend Lynyrd Skynyrd and the band’s iconic southern rock anthems.

The Bleachers will follow on Tuesday, August 19, with songwriter-mastermind Jack Antonoff, who has collaborated with artists like Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey.

From rock over alternative to flamenco, the Gipsy Kings feat. Nicolas Reyes will perform the next day and bring some Catalan rumba to the Pacific Northwest.

The first week will end big when Flo Rida brings his hits like “Low” and “Right Round” to the PNE on Friday, and Vancouver’s own Marianas Trench will deliver a live performance in their hometown show!

The second week will continue with as much music as the first one, bringing international headliners like dancehall legend Sean Paul and American pop singer Meghan Trainor to the Pacific Coliseum at the PNE.

With the popular rock band Foreigner performing on August 28 and Canadian icon Tom Cochrane rocking the stage the next day on Friday, audiences will dance to hits like “Cold As Ice” and “Life Is a Highway”.

The Summer Night Concerts are expected to end with the performances of Rainbow Kitten Surprise and their mix of indie rock, alternative, and folk.

With this line-up, the PNE promises a “celebration of diverse genres”.

Tickets will go on sale on May 9th at 10 a.m., and admission to the Fair is included with the purchase of a concert ticket!

Next year, the PNE hopes to welcome the audiences to the new PNE Amphitheatre (Freedom Mobile Arch), which is currently under construction and is due to open in 2026.
