Concert of the Week
Lady Gaga, Scotiabank Arena, Toronto — September 10-11, 13
For three nights, Mother Monster is bringing the Mayhem Ball’s spectacle to Toronto. Nearing two decades of topping charts — 2025’s Mayhem peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart — Lady Gaga has continued to reinvent pop culture and redefine what it means to put on a show. The pop star’s latest arena tour promises all the theatrical energy, powerhouse vocals and emotional hits.
From the moment she blasted onto the scene with 2008’s The Fame, Lady Gaga became a lightning rod for pop stardom. While some fell commercially short of the stratospheric bar she’d set at the foundation of her career, Gaga returned to form on Mayhem. Song-to-song, it changes up the sonic and thematic spaces — ranging from grinding industrial techno to a soulful ballad. “Die With a Smile,” the closing track featuring Bruno Mars, spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. Now, fans get to hear the gamut of Gaga’s discography.
“This is my first arena tour since 2018,” she says. “There’s something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with The MAYHEM Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience — something more intimate— closer, more connected — that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create."

Hozier, Rogers Stadium, Toronto — September 10
In 2023, Hozier played Budweiser Stage to almost 17,000 concertgoers. Two years later, the Irish singer-songwriter has joined the likes of Oasis and Coldplay by performing at Toronto's largest open-air venue, Rogers Stadium – it’s the expansion of touring plans supporting 2023's Unreal Unearth. The “Too Sweet” singer's show will be the stadium's last concert of 2025, closing its first season.

Billianne, The Fox Cabaret, Vancouver — September 12
The Ontario singer-songwriter is bringing her debut album, Modes of Transportation, to the West Coast on her LP’s namesake tour. Three years ago, she scored over two million views on her TikTok cover of Tina Turner’s “The Best.” She’s continued to build major momentum, with her track “Crush” peaking at No. 21 on the Billboard Canada Hot AC chart earlier this year.

Keith Urban, Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary — September 12; SaskTel Centre, Saskatoon — September 15; Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg — September 16
The country superstar is making a bevy of Canadian stops on his High and Alive World Tour.

Earlier this year, Urban performed an intimate show at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern, which sold out in minutes.

Wet Leg, MTELUS, Montreal — September 13
This week, the Isle of Wight-formed duo will perform the alt-anthems from their recent album, Moisturizer — hearing the songs live will keep you and your friends on your feet all night — as they intended. “We focused on: Is this going to be fun to play live? It was very natural that we would write the second record together,” shares the band's Rhian Teasdale.

Kali Uchis, Place Bell, Laval — September 16; Scotiabank Arena, Toronto — September 17
The R&B siren is on her first-ever arena tour, which boasts two Canadian dates. It’s a major feat for Kali Uchis, who told Billboard the breakthrough touring moment has been building for over a decade. “I definitely feel like I’m ready to take it to the next level, to celebrate still being here after so many years and having the success — being an artist that has longevity,” Uchis said.
