No drywall over the concrete? Liquid nail or other adhesive on concrete. If there is drywall is it in 2x4s or turning strips? Then brad or finishing nails.
You need to furr the wall. You can buy bundles of furring strips from your home improvement store and attach those to your concrete wall. Be sure to use standard distances between, so you can find your nailing strips through the panels. I would definitely use some board for wall panels. If you don't want drywall, you can use Masonite in 1/4" thickness. Once painted, it looks great.
Use Locktite Power Grab Adhesive. Green (not blue) painters tape to hold it in place until the glue sets. Green painters tape has stronger adhesive.
