It’s official: Vancouver’s summer nights just got their groove back. The PNE Fair is pulling no punches this year, rolling out a bold 2025 Summer Night Concert lineup that blends nostalgia, global rhythms, and feel-good vibes across genres. Whether you’re into 2000s pop, classic rock, dancehall energy, or indie soul, there’s something for everyone—and yes, that includes your aunty, your Gen Z cousin, and your dad who still plays “Sweet Home Alabama” on vinyl.
From August 16 to September 1, 2025, the Pacific Coliseum will be the temporary home of the concert series while the fairgrounds’ new amphitheatre gets built. But that’s not stopping the party.
Here’s a taste of what’s coming:
- Counting Crows kick things off on August 16 with their melancholic charm.
- Lynyrd Skynyrd is ready to crank the volume August 17.
- Bleachers, the brainchild of Jack Antonoff, hits the stage August 19.
- Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes bring flamenco heat August 20.
- Flo Rida promises a full-body dance workout August 22.
- Leon Bridges, smooth as ever, slides through August 23.
- Marianas Trench deliver pop-rock drama August 24.
- Sean Paul, the dancehall legend himself, lights up the 26th.
- Wilco keeps it folksy and unpredictable August 27.
- Foreigner, certified rock royalty, performs August 28.
- Tom Cochrane returns with pure Canadiana vibes August 29.
- Meghan Trainor brings her bubbly, bass-thumping pop August 30.
- And Rainbow Kitten Surprise closes it out with soulful indie grooves on September 1.
And that’s not all—two mystery acts are still under wraps for August 21 and 31. 👀
Tickets start at $59.25, and yes, that includes your PNE fair admission. They go on sale May 9 at 10 AM, so mark your calendars and prep your outfits.
Whether you’re catching vibes with your community, bringing your little cousins to their first big show, or just living your best West Coast summer life, this lineup is shaping up to be a whole mood.
