Canadian National Exhibition 2019 Bandshell Concert Lineup Announced
The Canadian National Exhibition is an end of summer highlight for Torontonians and tourists every year, and with a busy musical lineup all set up for the bandshell in 2019, this year will be no different.
Already we’ve got 14 dates on the schedule. And while that does leave two nights empty, right now, it gives us a pretty full picture. These acts cover pop, rock, country, calypso, reggae, and more ready to take the stage. And these names also cross generations, giving multiple audiences an opportunity to see music they are into.
The Northern Comfort Saloon is also coming back in 2019. We don’t know which dates or times are on the schedule yet, but we have seen a released list of artists that will be playing the country stage. Check it out!
And remember this, each and every one of these shows is free with admission to the 2019 CNE!
There are still openers to be announced. There are still those two dates to be announced (August 27 and 31). But as of now, the list is good. And we’ve got it for you.
Update: August 16, 27, and 31 have been added to the Canadian National Exhibition lineup and have been added to the list in this post.
