Zeds Dead is headlining the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) this weekend.
The Toronto native bass duo will return to its home city to play the Bell Soundstage at the Bandshell as Billboard Canada’s special headliner this Friday, August 28.
The performance is free with admission to the CNE, and comes as part of the long-running annual fair’s ongoing 2026 concert series, bringing 16 musical performances to Toronto’s Exhibition Place daily through September 5. Fans can also purchase preferred seating tickets.
The show will mark Zeds Dead’s second appearance in Toronto this summer, after the Deadbeats label bosses headlined the RBC Amphitheatre as part of their “Journey of a Lifetime” tour in July.
The pair anchors this year’s CNE season alongside a variety of Canadian and international artists. Following performances from Lupe Fiasco, Lights, Shaggy, Virginia to Vegas, and Glass Tiger, the concert series continues with JoJo, Matthew Good Band, Dallas Smith and a surprise co-headliner, Charlotte Day Wilson, Finger Eleven, Silverstein, Raf Saperra, and Tom Cochrane.
In addition to shows at the Bandshell, festivities at the CNE’s 147th edition include agriculture and tech exhibitions, carnival rides, games, parades, arts displays, and more. The fair runs through Labor Day on September 7.
