The 2025 Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is in full swing, having opened on August 15 and continuing through September 1 at Exhibition Place in Toronto. Known for its vibrant mix of entertainment, attractions, and cultural showcases, the CNE’s annual music program at the Bell CNE Bandshell remains one of the festival’s biggest draws.

This year’s lineup features an impressive roster of performers across multiple genres, promising something for everyone. Among the standout acts is Luciano, one of reggae’s most revered voices, who is confirmed to take the stage on Thursday, August 21. His performance begins at 8:30 p.m. and is expected to deliver the uplifting and spiritually charged energy that has defined his global career.

The Bell CNE Bandshell, an outdoor covered concert stage, provides the ideal setting for audiences to enjoy world-class music in the heart of Toronto’s Exhibition Place. Admission to all Bell CNE Bandshell concerts, including Luciano’s highly anticipated show, is included with the price of CNE entry.

Tickets for the 2025 Canadian National Exhibition, which include access to Luciano’s performance and the full Bandshell concert series, are available online at theex.com/tickets.
