Every Toronto summer ends the same way, with the Canadian National Exhibition and its rides, food, and entertainment.
And now, still a month and a half away from opening day, we have a schedule and lineup for the legendary CNE Bandshell stage.
As always, all concerts are included with the price of CNE admission, making these some of the best value buys of the summer concert season for all music lovers.
Note: Monday to Thursday (excluding the Labour Day holiday) the CNE will offer an $8 a
After 5pm admission deal. We recommend taking advantage of it!
The 2017 schedule is packed with some awesome talent across genres. Canadian rock and roll veterans, Sam Roberts Band are an early must-see, joined by local favourites, USS and Dear Rouge, and former Rolling Stone cover boys, The Sheepdogs. And on the country music side, Chad Brownlee, Aaron Pritchett, and Canadian actor/singer/songwriter Kiefer Sutherland will all headline the Bandshell stage.
We would also encourage you to check out the opening acts on this year's schedule.
Madeline Merlo, The Zolas, Leaving Thomas, Jane's Party, and Ascot Royals will all be worth being at the stage early for... trust us.
Note: There may be more opening acts added as we get closer to the Exhibition, there are some spaces open. And remember, all of these acts and dates are subject to change.
Now, get your calendar out, look at the schedule and make your plans for the CNE.
