Live Nation Canada opens Rogers Stadium

On June 26, 2025, Live Nation Canada celebrated the opening of Rogers Stadium, a new seasonal outdoor concert venue. With a capacity of 50,000, Rogers Stadium is the GTA’s largest purpose-built music venue.

Built as an open-air experience with a focus on sustainability, this temporary facility is Canada’s newest landmark concert destination, reinforcing Toronto’s reputation as must-play market on the global music scene. Rogers Stadium is located at YZD (former Downsview Airport Lands) with access to 400-series highways and public transit. The venue will generate thousands of jobs, boost tourism, support local businesses and inject an estimated $80-$100 million into the local economy.

“We’ve made this investment to ensure that fans in Toronto don’t miss out on world-class artists”, says Erik Hoffman, President of Music, Live Nation Canada. “We are witnessing a historic surge in stadium-level acts touring right now and Rogers Stadium will ensure we not only meet the demand but elevate the experience for fans. We are excited to bring live music to a new area in Toronto and give concertgoers a premium stadium show experience, combined with the festival feeling we know our fans enjoy.”

Live Nation Canada is providing free rides home on the TTC and GO Transit after all fourteen shows at Rogers Stadium this summer. Following shows, fans will be able to take the subway from Sheppard West, Downsview Park and Wilson Stations as well as the GO train from Downsview Park Station. Both the TTC and Metrolinx are also running additional service on show nights to help manage crowds in the area.

Rogers is bringing the latest 5G+ technology to Rogers Stadium. Through a $5.2 million investment, the company has installed a new in-building network system and antenna infrastructure that offers coverage equivalent to fourteen downtown towers. Additionally, Rogers aims to enhance the experience on-site for fans and customers: through Rogers Beyond the Seat, a national program that delivers sports and entertainment experiences, Rogers customers heading on-site can enter through the exclusive Rogers Beyond the Seat entrance. Rogers is also introducing a personalized video recap called Rogers Replay where fan-generated content is combined with professional footage to deliver a completely customized digital keepsake for concertgoers. This is a first-of-its-kind fan experience for concerts in Canada.

Rogers Stadium will host its first show on June 29, featuring South Korean pop band Stay Kids.
