Budweiser Stage, Toronto

The concert venue in Toronto, originally known as the Molson Amphitheatre, has been renamed the Budweiser Stage. Situated on the beautiful grounds of Ontario Place, this venue showcases a wide range of musical acts spanning various genres, including rock, pop, country, and jazz.

In May 1995, the newly built amphitheater then called the Molson Amphitheatre, kicked off with two unforgettable Bryan Adams concerts that played to sold-out crowds. Shortly after, Van Halen took the stage for back-to-back performances in August 1995, which were professionally recorded for a Pay-Per-View event and an unreleased live album.

The venue gained further acclaim when Rush performed there in 1997. It has since hosted millions of patrons and has even become the annual host of Canadian rapper Drake's OVO Festival. Depeche Mode has also played to capacity crowds. On January 6, 2017, it was named the Budweiser Stage through a partnership between Labatt Breweries and Live Nation.

Operating between May and October, the Budweiser Stage's unique outdoor setup allows for an unforgettable concert experience. With a seating capacity of approximately 16,000, the venue offers 5,500 reserved seats under a magnificent 60-foot-high covered roof, 3,500 open-air seats, and 7,000 seats on the grassy lawn.

Additionally, the floor area (100 level) provides 1,000 unreserved spots. For season ticket holders, Club and VIP seats are available, ensuring an elevated experience. To enhance the viewing pleasure of all attendees, two large video screens flank the stage, offering close-up shots of the performers for everyone in the audience to enjoy.
