Budweiser Stage

In 2023 I wrote an email to Hauser telling him to consider coming to America including Toronto, as I was positive there was a market for him here in the other side of the world. I always wanted to see him; but did not have the chance to go to Europe to see him. I am very glad that he listened to my request and he made my dream come true seeing him performing here at home; In 2024 I missed his show in Toronto due to a medical emergency; but when I heard he was coming to Toronto in June 17-2025 for a big show I could not believe it, I was so excited and I immediately purchased my ticket. I did not want to miss him at all this time. I enjoyed his show from start to end, It was absolutely amazing, what a great show. He is an spectacular musician and have to say very handsome too. I want to say thank you Hauser for listening and for making this dream a reality. What a great experience I had. Looking forward to many more great experiences. We love you! Thank you Erika Caro

While I didn't see much of the opening act (I believe it was Jacob Banks), Imagine Dragons were incredible! Dan Reynolds was incredibly charismatic and seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself on stage. He also mingled with the audience, and it was heartwarming to see small acts of support, such as Dan bringing Ukrainian flags out on stage, and Ben McKee at one point used a guitar with a trans flag on it. It was also great to see so many children and elders attending, proving that they connect with all ages. I have dreamed of attending one of their concert for years, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. 10/10, highly recommend!

Very good live band. Brandon Flowers is an outstanding showman, vocalist and lyricist! However, unless you're quite tall, the visibility is not great at Budweiser Stage. It was my first and last time there. Also, the setlist was quite superior on the second Toronto night. More songs that are played less often, such as This Is Your Life, Bling and Bones. And Dying Breed from night 2 is way more catchy than Running Towards a Place from night 1. We also got no song from Pressure Machine on night 1. Overall though, a good concert experience!

This is just my personal opinion that yes setlist was fantastic and amazing Steve Howe must have had a bad monitor mix his fingers were brittle he couldn't keep in time and he was fumbling his way through a lot of the intricate parts I've heard him play better. however the Deep Purple setlist was a great disappointment for me as I saw setlist in the United States shows but when they came to Canada they were nothing like the US setlist I was gearing up to hear a lot a fan favorites that just didn't happen here but the sound system was absolutely amazing everything punched right through vocals guitars bass you name it was a great sounding all around. I can't believe they didn't even play burn I won't see deep purple again unless they do a greatest hits tour but that likely won't happen because Richie Blackmore it's hard to copy of older great songs from the purple and all I got is I wasn't sure what song they were playing only a few hits were offered however the band sounded fantastic and the songs they did play which I did not know were quite good you'll enjoy the show but if you're an old purple fan like me it'll be a disappointment you won't get their best hits on this tour in Canada

It was Amazing & So Fun! Very inspiring and truly a down to earth band. They put their whole heart & soul into the performance. Also, they have a big following from kids. Many families there! Including my family as well and we had a blast!!! I saw a new side to my child as they enjoyed it immensely. It was our 1st time seeing Imagine Dragons and I know it won't be the last! Until next time...Thank You Very Much Imagine Dragons for a life time of memories!

Came all the way from BC to see this show and Chris himself did not disappoint! Glad they moved things around to make sure we got to see him and not cancel the whole show. Was a bummer that a storm had to come through and cut out Marcus King and War & Treaty, was excited to see them! I understand the show still went on but a partial refund or a gift to the fans would be nice considering we only got half of the show we paid for. Also bought a concert T shirt (the Tennessee Whiskey one) didn’t notice till I got home that it didn’t have the tour info on the back, thought that was kind of standard for $50 concert T’s.

It was one of the best experiences of my life. My very first 5sos show, and it was amazing. The weather held off this year thankfully (they got interrupted by a lightning storm a previous year). I have been a fan of this band for almost 4 years now, and this was a dream come true. My dad also enjoyed the show, which is something! In his words, "I really liked the drummer (Ashton), and the bass (Calum). The guitarist (Michael), and the pretty boy up front (Luke) were a bit chaotic" I'm so glad I got to see them live, and I will definitely see them again, 10/10 highly recommend

Plant, Kraus and the band were at the top of their game. Wonderful show. Venue is awful. Started with brutally inefficient and slow entry protocols manned by kids who likely were being paid min wage and clearly didn’t give a shit…and the venue itself is completely void of character….it’s all metal and hard surface infrastructure with big res neon exit signs welcoming patrons and the band. But Robert and Allison made one forget momentarily about what a travesty the Ontario place remains…won’t go again. Ever.

This was the first show I was able to see in over 16 years after being in a near fatal MVA. Prior to being a passenger in a crash with an eighteen wheeler, I had seen Alexisonfire so many times over their early years (twenty years ago ) until the crash, supporting them when ever I could. This included many shows in St. Catherines’ bars and fairs, Toronto bars, not so great venues in North Bay, worse in Detroit, and music festivals in the U.S. and Canada. My friend and I being great music lovers, always saw the potential of these local musicians from day one and wanted to support their talents being artists ourselves. It may have taken my over sixteen years to get myself well enough to see them again, but their passion, intensity, and love of their art made me feel like no time had passed and I was watching the same awesome band I always had. Thank you so much guys!

The pet shop boy stole the show amazing sound lighting stage costumes the whole production was massive Extremely entertaining colorful and enjoyable. however new order can't say much for that show lack of lighting lack of excitement poor choices of good songs list They really didn't play any of their best songs as far as I'm concerned from the no album . Very disappointing set list.The Pet Shop Boys were definitely in there for the money new order was definitely there for hot dogs cheeseburgers and French fries

Unbelievable gig....seriously....Simon sounds incredible after 40 years....like it's still 1981 TBH, the rest of the band perfectly in sync from beginning to end. They played the hits you'd expect them to play while properly supporting the album they are touring, Future Past. Great energy, sold out crowd (or at least it looked it) and the rain stopped just in time for them to take the stage. If you can catch Duran Duran on this run don't hesitate. You can't have a better night. Keep defying time boys!!!

Phenomenal! Although it took awhile to get into the venue, they kindly delayed the performance until most were able to get in. Master Jack always puts on a show that will have you jumping up and down and singing all night! If you loved The White Stripes, The Raconteurs or The Dead Weather there’s something in the set list for you. And Jack’s solo stuff is a miracle of music. Highly recommend seeing a Jack White concert at least once (or 5 times and counting , in my case)!

Onerepublic was the best concert I have seen this summer. I am a huge fan. Have followed them since their single Apologize. They came out strong and finished stronger. They were on fire the whole night. I loved the combination of old and new songs. Would have liked to have heard a couple more newer. But also the ones that Ryan wrote with other artists. I would have cut that down a bit. He was amazing. Totally engaged the audience in the show which I loved. Danced the whole time and sang my heart out. Definitely will be going to see them again!!

Band was amazing, sound was amazing! I was in the lawn area so it was a little far but worth the price. Ideally bigger screens would be better for those further back. Also, email said that the band would go on at 8:45pm, but they went on at 7:45pm. The band announced this on their Instagram but I was not checking their stories at the time so I did miss the first two songs (that I was excited for). I understand that times are subject to change, but this was a large change. A text message or follow up email on this update when this decision was made would be preferred. Otherwise, a great show!

It was actually called the Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings Together Again Tour. It was beyond spectacular. For these 2 artists to be on stage in the unbelievable humidity we had in Toronto, I applaud them. Of course the voice range is not what it used to be, but they can both belt it out. Would love to see them again, but probably not this tour. Burton and Randy both have very interesting stories from their past & their lives. Glad to have seen them.

The Question here is how was the show, and since there are many different parts to a show, I will say this: the opening act sounded HORRIFIC. Patty Griffin didn't sing on beat, her rifs were grating, her voice was grating. The gates at Budweiser Stage opened at 6pm and the Chicks didn't get on stage until 8:50pm. The crowd was drunk, annoying, had no respect for personal space. There should not be almost 3 hours between opening and stage time because people become belligerent, rude, and out of control. I paid $200 for my ticket and the people around me absolutely ruined the experience. But, the Chicks themselves were awesome.

Hi! I love the band "Little Big Town" and seeing them in concert was one of my bucket lists so very appropriate to see them as a retirement gift. I love them as a band, their energy and harmony are so enjoyable. I won't say I was disappointed but I was surprised that they did not play more of their big hits during their set. I did love how they started their set with their song "Pontoon", great way to start. What I will say is that I loved the ending of Miranda Lambert's concert where Little Big Town came out and shared the stage with her and they sang some of their hits and some of Miranda's. In summary, the finale of the concert was the best!

In my opinion this was definitely a poor choice for knotfest for the 1st and 2 opening bands. In fact we waited in the bar until these bands were over so we could see the grand finale Slipknot which was absolutely amazing.we would prefer next time just to see just Slipknot with some better choice of high act bands to open this show the show such as korn!! Etc.for the price of a knotfest. The last thing I want to see is a rap band at a Slipknot concert.!!!!boo!

I was sorta disappointed by TSSF this time around. This was my 6th TSSF show and their first in Toronto in over 3 years. It feels like they’ve lost their aggression and passion when compared to earlier years. Parker is stiff at his mic stand and struggles to sing songs from the first 3 albums. The rest of the band seemed like they were playing because they’re obligated to. Not because they LOVED to. Maybe it was an “off-day” but this is just my take. For the record, I consider myself a BIG TSSF fan. I only came to disrupt fest for them and Four Year Strong.

By far the best concert I have ever been to. You can tell she pours her heart and soul into everything she does. The performance was so well thought out. The visuals were amazing. She really knows how to engage / command a crowd. Her singing was phenomenal. She sounds just the same live as she does in the studio version. I didn’t think I could possibly love her more than I already did. My heart is full. I highly recommend seeing her live. I know I’ll be seeing her again soon.
