The Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) has released the lineup for its 2022 PNE Summer Nights concerts, featuring a range of diverse talent spanning several muscial genres.

This year's live performances include everything from iconic Canadian rockers Blue Rodeo and Barenaked Ladies, and many more. Other acts include Nelly, the Beach Boys, Chicago, TLC, and Shaggy. You can get your classic rock, old school R&B, or throwback nostalgia on, big time.
