The PNE Summer Night Concerts are coming back as one of the biggest highlights of the Pacific National Exhibition, running in late August through early September. Every year, this concert series brings a mix of global stars, throwback legends, and trending artists across genres like pop, hip-hop, rock, and EDM. What makes it even more appealing is that your concert ticket includes admission to the fair itself, turning it into a full-night experience instead of just a show. The 2026 edition is already shaping up to be another stacked lineup with both mainstream names and niche favorites. With Vancouver continuing to grow as a major tour stop, the PNE concerts have become a key part of the city’s summer culture. Expect packed crowds, high-energy performances, and a festival-like atmosphere every night. Tickets are expected to start around $49 and typically sell quickly once released.

• Aug. 22: Blue Rodeo
• Aug. 23: The Guess Who
