Tonisha Bath played a critical role in one of the most high-profile venue projects this year: the launch and opening of Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, which became the city’s biggest music venue and hosted shows by Coldplay, Oasis, Blackpink and more. At Live Nation Canada, the 37-year-old leads nationwide communications and oversees marketing for the company’s 11 owned and operated venues across the country – an important growth market for one of Canada’s leading live entertainment companies. Growing up in Saudi Arabia and rooted in Toronto, Bath has previously worked at boutique agencies and with the Juno Awards, and has built a career based on enthusiasm, passion, storytelling and connecting audiences through shared experiences.

Bath sees the growth of live music as an opportunity to both export Canadian artists and bring the world to Canada – a story she loves to tell. “Our artists are shaping the sound of music worldwide, and our cities are thriving as major touring and entertainment hubs that bring global audiences home,” she says.
