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.

‘Protect the Prize’: The Polaris Music Prize Undergoes Its Biggest Period of Change

Now entering its third decade, the Canadian critic’s prize has expanded its voting pool, adjusted to financial constraints and expanded to award both albums and songs. After years defined by its refined focus, the changes mark a major expansion of the organization’s mission.

In 2025, the Polaris Music Prize celebrated its 20th anniversary. Entering its third decade, the award is undergoing what might be its biggest period of change. From funding to voting process, the organization is continuing to evolve.

The cultural not-for-profit organization has spent the better part of two decades creating a space in the industry for Canadian acts to be recognized based solely artistic merit, rather than sales, genre or support from a record label. Founded in the 2000s as Canada's answer to the Mercury Prize, the organization became a registered Canadian charity in 2017.
