Coldplay, Oasis, BLACKPINK and More: Every Concert Scheduled for Toronto's Rogers Stadium in Summer 2025

The 50,000-capacity venue will open its doors on June 29, kicking off with a performance from K-pop stars Stray Kids, while System of a Down and Hozier will also take the stage in its inaugural season.

Toronto's new Rogers Stadium has set its opening date. The venue will open its doors June 29, 2025.

The venture from Live Nation and Northcrest Developments, announced last fall, will serve as a key touring stop for some of the world's biggest acts.


With a 50,000 capacity, it boosts Toronto's ability to welcome major international acts — the stadium was inspired by a superstar act that might have otherwise skipped the city (most likely Oasis).

Toronto already has a stadium, Rogers Centre. But as Live Nation Canada's Erik Hoffman told Billboard Canada, with the city becoming a premiere international touring stop — and as A-list tours become destination events for fans — that space and Scotiabank Arena aren't enough to meet demand. Rogers Stadium, unlike Rogers Centre and Scotiabank, will be one of the few venues of its size in the world that doesn't serve a professional sports team, dedicated solely to music.

Rogers Stadium has a short lifespan — following its five-year timeline, it will be turned into residential communities.

Until then, the Stadium plans to host 12-15 shows per year, and now it's revealed its first slate. In addition to previously announced performers Oasis, K-pop groups Stray Kids and BLACKPINK will help break in the stadium, as will Irish singer Hozier, Armenian rockers System of a Down, and Coldplay, who will perform a whopping four dates.

The stadium opens its doors on June 29 and its first season will run until September 10. Find the full schedule below and tickets here.

Executive of the Week: Justin West of Secret City Records on the Secrets of Independent Music Success​

Executive of the Week: Justin West of Secret City Records on the Secrets of Independent Music Success​

The man behind one of Canada's most successful indie labels talks about the late-blooming success of French-language streaming record-holder Patrick Watson, why he builds long-term relationships with artists, and why it's important for the indie sector to work together.

Justin West is a leader and advocate in Canada’s independent music scene, but he didn’t plan it out that way. When he started his record label Secret City Records in Montreal in the mid-2000s, it was out of necessity. He had met an artist he loved and wanted to build a career with, and the label was a means to do it. That artist was Patrick Watson, and 20 years later he — and Secret City — are more successful than ever.

West — a multiple time Billboard Canada Power Player – leads one of the biggest indie labels in Canada while also advocating for the sector on multiple boards both locally and internationally. When we speak to him for this Executive of the Week interview, he’s just returned from Banff for the National Summit on Artificial Intelligence and Culture, and is a central figure in discussions around the Online Streaming Act and collective negotiations with online streaming platforms.
