The Danforth Music Hall

I felt I was witnessing the ascension of a beautiful musician who will definitely make his mark in the coming of age (finally) of aboriginal artists who have so much more to offer in this art form. His music comes from his soul and the souls of his ancestors. This was a beautiful concert and I was drawn to this venue because of Aysanabee and am so happy I was able to get seats even if they were far from the stage. I also had the privilege of having him sign a CD I purchased and could see him up close and personal. It was my birthday = what a gift. Linda Morel

Ashley was absolutely amazing live! Her and the band sounded exactly the same as they do on the records. She put on a fantastic show with lots of interesting and cool stories along with exceptional music. Ashley is my all-time favourite country music artist and it was truly a dream come true to see her in such an intimate venue. Everything was perfect!

Bittersweet to see the last Clannad show in Toronto. Clannad was one of the bands that defined my soundtracks in the 1980s and 1990s, and the crisp, tight playing of the band was on full display, with tracks spanning the fifty plus years that Clannad have been touring. Moya's voice was backed by Aisling Jarvis, Moya's daughter, who provided the fullness of the vocals for a number of key tracks and also played guitar and bouzouki. Moya, Ciarán, Pól were also accompanied by Paul Jarvis (vocals/keyboard) and Ged Lynch (drums). Clannad - you will be missed! I was glad to catch this opportunity.

Leith Ross and their band made this concert the most incredible experience. The concert was stripped of all the flashy aspects that so many concerts overdo, and it was perfect. Every detail from the vocals down to the chimes of the glockenspiel and strumming of the upright bass was absolutely mesmerizing. The opener (FONTINE) was absolutely incredible and was the perfect choice to start off this concert. Her voice and songs are like a perfect mix of Miley Cyrus, King Princess, and Cece Coakley.

Loved the show, but Danforth was the wrong venue choice for this show. The queue began at 7am and stretched on and on as the day went on, likely due to a younger fanbase more determined to get “good spots”, but this made it incredibly difficult to actually get in the venue, Opener Spilly Cave was energetic and fun despite only having two band members, but the crowd talked over them most of the time. Surprise openers Good Kid were phenomenal and had great energy. Lovejoy’s performance was amazing as expected, but the audience’s screaming almost drowned out the band.

The concert amazing, like always. Although, I think some of the songs were kind of 'slow' for a concert, but well, I enjoyed every single one because this is my favourite band. The venue, not as I expected, worst venue I've been to. I'm sure I got better seats when I bought tickets online, but we were seated very far away and they said that was always the seating plan (not it wasn't, I'm sure of what I paid for). I wish I could stand and not have to buy seats, but my party can't stand for the whole time, so I was stuck in a very uncomfortable seat and couldn't even stand for a bit because apparently I was disturbing others. So lame to be seated for 3 hours during a rock concert!

Steve was so good, he keeps getting better, You can feel his confidence, people were passing out because it was so hot but thanks for the venue for giving water overall experience was 10/10 need bigger venue, foushee asked for a moshpit and people went crazy and sum people didnt want a moshpit and started crying its a concert not a standup comedy

Not bad…. Quite impressive performances despite the fact no one got a partial refund on not being able to see the band Enforced over the border security, which is bullshit! Pay up Noel! Venue? 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Why??? Why not the opera house??? Attitude from customer service and for no reason! I showed up with $500 cash in my pocket ready to spend and have a good time and support the bands. went to the window to buy a ticket, and they don’t take cash… legal tender!!! They don’t accept legal FEDERAL tender, our national currency is no good to this place? They want to “tap”…. The only thing I wanna “tap” is your bar maids and I’m not gonna “tip” them, I’ll give them every inch and I won’t even spit on it… why? You didn’t respect my country’s legal tender! In the words of Kevin O’Leary “Respect the Money!”

This was my first time seeing The waste in a club venue. This was my second time seeing the thrashpertise of these ripping genius' . my first gig was montebello rock fest, four years previous. Tony and his RVA brothers went off as usual. I really hope the fellas can make it to southern Ontario more often in the future. Would love to see MW , a wilhelm scream and belushi speed ball tour together. I think that would be one hell of shredfest imo. At the gates were incredible as well. I have a new found respect for these guys. They did not disappoint whatsoever!!! Solid thrashacre all around

Katherine was absolutely hilarious! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed her show. She was enganging and charming and the banter between her and the crowd was great. I loved her "Missus" material which, as the name suggests, touched on relationships, marriage, sex and children. It was great and one of the first truly enjoyable nights out I've had during the pandemic. I do hope Katherine visits the motherland 😉 again soon to delight us with her funny stories! I highly recommend you catch her show if you can.

Amazing show! The openers were great, Games We Play had so much energy and were super fun. They definitely got the crowd amped up. Renforshort was really great as well! I loved her energy dancing around on the stage! The Band CAMINO were absolutely electric! The boys definitely know how to put on a show. They sounds exactly the same live as they do on their albums! Best show ever!! As first concerts go, this was the best I could imagine! Especially getting front row! 🙌🏻

Very fun show, Josh and the band were really rockin' but the sub-par quality of the sound and sound mixing at the Danforth somewhat undercut the experience. It was hard to hear Josh at times, almost like some sort of mic malfunction. Seemed find during the more acoustic stuff but any time he was with the band or backing tracks he got a bit lost. Still a good night out.

John Paul White took the stage with an acoustic guitar and performed stripped down versions of his material. It was outstanding. This man is a talent. The songs from his latest album "The hurting kind" were absolutely beautiful. Using nothing but his talent, southern charm, and wit, he had me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for him to come back and maybe headline the show. I gave 4 stars because as the opening act he didn't perform enough tunes. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars. Loved his show.

The sound was a bit noisy and required some adjustments but overall The Cinematic Orchestra plays heavenly music that deserves quite intimate listening. This was the first chance I listened them live and in General Standing area. It was quite a pleasure to see the waves when all standing public dances in tune with music. However I wonder how would it feel like when I could sit on the chair. Looking forward to the next opportunity to watch them!👌

Tiffany was great.. the show started a bit late but as expected. Venue was small but made it easy to get a close spot. Sound was good I only felt like it was too loud halfway through. I would’ve liked for them to keep the seats on the floor so everyone’s separate but it was still good. Nice lighting and production was simple. I would’ve liked a couple more outfit changes.. Show was short, only an hour and a half. Most of the songs were covers but i was still satisfied. She interacts a lot with fans which is so nice.

Michael Schenker is a genius, he is playing better than ever and you can see how much he is enjoying performing with his talented band and 4 lead singers. How they all keep up that level of performance for 3 hours is amazing. Rock Bottom is better than ever, how can that be possible, but it is ! I can’t fault the concert, 10 / 10

This show was killer!! Wax Trax! era Ministry - amazing! Great that Al and company were joined by Chris Connelly on stage. The band gave a super powerful performance. Al was in great form and still as entertaining as ever! Was only there for the live performances, regret that I didn't catch the documentary beforehand. Looking forward to watching it after that stellar show. Cold Cave were great too. Really good set and it's always cool to see bands open for the greats that influenced their style to begin with. All in all, a wickedly cool night!

Here the thing, bought tickets while in Chile months earlier. Never hear of the band but thought after a read interesting sound. Opening act ... nothing there. But CLD, freakin amazing... great orginal material, and cover songs were colourful tapestries of their former selves with a splash of creativity. Surprise appearance of Geddy was greatly appreciated and could not have picked a better song for the occasion. A very memorable night. And to think I almost missed the show due to a cold. Am paying heavily for the show now. Thanks Les & Sean. CLD Definitely on my radar.

This guy... I've never seen someone who was so mentally, physically and emotionally in tune with his music. He's the avatar of music itself. Last night's performance was the audio equivalent of a 10-course meal at George (with wine pairings!). Just a riot of sound, and wildly satisfying on an elemental level. He played all the notes you needed to hear and many more you didn't realise were missing from your life. Review wankery aside (sorry), if you have the chance to see Nils Frahm perform, my god just go.

Emily is always exuberant, and this show was no exception. They sounded great, the venue is ideal for a show where you have to dance, and the new stuff BLEW MY MIND. Dark Saturday live was incredible. Combat Baby has a special place in my heart, and i have only heard her do an a Capella version live; the full band rocking out for it was just so awesome. My only complaint would be people on their phones the whole time. Some girl right in front of us had her brightness all the way up and she was scrolling Facebook and group texting off color jokes. Was pretty distracting. More bands should. Follow Jack White's lead and start banning devices. But this gripe has zero to do with the band.
