The Ex isn’t just your average fair anymore – it’s the place to see some hot concerts.

The Trews will be making a stop on their current tour to play The Ex – the end-of-summer Toronto fest – on August 23. The Canadian boys have just released their fourth CD, “No Time For Later.”

Burlington band Silverstein will be rocking the CNE’s Bandshell stage the next evening, with their new material from their album, “Arrivals & Departures.” They’ll be joined by Sights and Sounds.

Brandy’s little brother and gossip target Ray J will add some R&B flavour to the lineup.

And in case that wasn’t enough variety, Mickey Rooney and his wife Jan will woo the crowds with “song, dance and his timeless humour and charm.”
