The Saskatoon Exhibition announced its entertainment line-up and heightened security plans last week.
In previous years, the QCX has announced the entertainment line-up before mid-May, excluding the pandemic years.
In February 2024, the QCX announced that Ludacris would perform. Our Lady Peace, Jess Moskaluke, Trooper and the Regina Symphony Orchestra also performed.
No information has been given on who will perform at this year’s event.
More than a quarter-million people passed through the gates of the QCX in 2024, up by 3,000 visitors from the year prior.
