The Canadian National Exhibition has revealed its final lineup of headliners for its free nightly concert series, adding iconic boy-band 98 Degrees and Motown group The Commodores to the list of headliners.

The concert series kicks off Aug. 15 as part of the annual fair, with a performance from Shawn Desman at the Bell CNE Bandshell. 

The 146-year-old event held at Exhibition Place features rides, whacky carnival foods, shows and exhibitions over 18 days. 

Other headliners include Loverboy, July Talk, Bishop Briggs, Dean Brody, and Marianas Trench. 

The series wraps up on August 31 with a Soca Night concert featuring a variety of performers from Trinidad and Tobago. 

The full lineup can be found on the CNE website.
