CNE Bandshell Concerts

2023 Bandshell headliners include new music from platinum-selling powerhouse Amanda Marshall, nine-time JUNO winning artist Jann Arden, Bollywood music icon Shafqat Amanat Ali, legendary reggae songstress Marcia Griffiths, singer-songwriter William Prince, and fellow country superstar Brett Kissel. Six-time GRAMMY-winner Dionne Warwick will headline on Saturday, August 19, to delight fans on the only Canadian stop along her North American Tour this summer.

In addition to marquee acts, this year’s CNE Bandshell will present special tribute nights and themed concerts such as a not-to-be-missed show Drag EXtravaganza starring Canada’s Drag Race Tynomi Banks featuring music,
comedy, dance, fashion and fierceness. And, in celebration of 50 years of hip hop, Toronto’s own Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, and Polaris Prize rapper Haviah Mighty will bring down the house with classic hip hop anthems
that have shaped popular culture through the decades.
