The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and S2BN Entertainment have announced the extension of The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains through September 4.
Music festival season is in full swing in Ontario, and the signature event to cap off the summer has just announced its 17-day concert lineup. The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) has revealed its 2023 Bandshell headliners. All CNE Bandshell concerts are FREE with CNE admission.
Also marking its 50th anniversary is the release of Pink Floyd’s record-breaking album, The Dark Side Of The Moon, that spent nearly 1,000 consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts. Since forming in 1965, and performing their first concert in Toronto in 1973, there has been a renewed interest in the band’s music, history, and influence. The renaissance will come alive as tribute band, Classic Albums Live, will perform songs from Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon album on the Bandshell Stage on Saturday, September 2.
And by popular demand, The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, co-produced by S2BN Entertainment and the CNEA, have announced that the retrospective exhibition will be extended in Toronto through to September 4. The 20,000 sq.ft. indoor exhibition at the Better Living Centre, adjacent to the Bandshell Stage, takes visitors on an audio-visual journey chronicling the history and legacy of Pink Floyd; featuring more than 350 artifacts including handwritten lyrics, instruments, videos and artwork, and items from the band’s personal collections.
A new release of tickets to The Pink Floyd Exhibition in Toronto are available now at pinkfloydexhibition.com, and theex.com.
Tickets purchased to attend The Pink Floyd Exhibition during the CNE dates of August 18 to September 4 will include complimentary admission to the Fair.
