It’s another list of exciting names for the annual series of concerts during the PNE Fair in late August and early September.

One major difference this year is that it’ll be the first year for these concerts at a brand new venue – the state-of-the-art Freedom Mobile Arch open-air amphitheatre.

Tickets for each concert are sold separately and will go on sale on April 20. They include admission to the PNE Fair for that day.

The Freedom Mobile Arch is set to open with a celebration on June 5 that will be hosted by Canadian music legend Jan Arden.

Prior to Summer Night Concerts, the new amphitheatre will be broken in by several concerts during the FIFA World Cup in June and July.
