PNE bids farewell to its 6 decades old Amphitheatre

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 29 Aug, 2023 01:55 PM
  • PNE bids farewell to its 6 decades old Amphitheatre

The P-N-E Amphitheatre is shutting its doors after almost 60 years in operation, making way for the construction of a new facility scheduled to open in 2026.

A statement from the Pacific National Exhibition says the last show at the venue will be a Blue Rodeo concert on Labour Day, with one show scheduled for each night this week leading up to September 4.

The venue first opened in 1964.

The P-N-E announced details of the new amphitheater plan in April for a facility with a capacity of 10-thousand and large free-span timber roof structure.
