FYI Newsletter Shifts To A Weekly Schedule

By David Farrell

Effective today, FYI’s newsletter will be published on Thursdays only as the news team winnows down on the wide spectrum of available news and fashions it into a cogent, digestible format for our over 6,000 weekly newsletter subscribers in Canada and abroad.

The reason for reducing the schedule is to provide more thoughtful detail on stories of the day.

Bulletin breaking news stories will be published as needed, when they break, on the website and broadcast alerts will be fanned out using social media platforms that include Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

As ever, Team FYI is eternally grateful for the financial underpinning provided by Gary Slaight that has carried this Canadian music industry news report since 2012.

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
