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.

Billboard France Announces the Launch of Billboard Paris

The French edition of the world's leading music media outlet is creating a local vertical to cover music news in the Greater Paris region.

Billboard France, the French edition of the world’s leading music media outlet, today announced the official launch of Billboard Paris.

This new vertical, which has already reached 10 million views on social media, will focus exclusively on music news from across the Paris region, covering local events — from small-scale concerts and club nights to music exhibitions — as well as major celebrations such as Fête de la Musique, Nuit Blanche, Techno Parade, and Pride Month.

Billboard Paris will be operated by Billboard France under the leadership of Nicolas Baudoin and Ulysse Hennessy. Yanis Si Youcef has been appointed editor-in-chief, with support from Julien Zeidan.

“In the space of a year, Billboard France has established itself as both a leading outlet for French and international music news and a reference point for industry professionals," Nicolas Baudoin and Ulysse Hennessy, president and managing Director of Billboard France and Billboard Paris, said in a joint statement. "This new Paris-focused event vertical allows us to build a highly localized audience while simultaneously expanding both our editorial and commercial offering. We are pleased to entrust it to Yanis Si Youcef, whose expertise closely aligns with our editorial ambitions.”

“Paris deserved its own benchmark music platform. Billboard Paris will tell the story of the city through its music, its scenes, and its nightlife, with the standards that have defined the Billboard brand for more than a century," added Yanis Si Youcef, editor-in-chief of Billboard Paris.
