Live Nation Canada and RBC have entered multiyear partnership to reimagine Budweiser Stage—the beloved amphitheatre at Toronto’s waterfront.

RBC Amphitheatre is poised to significantly increase its show count, hosting more than 1.5 million fans annually.

Inspired by fan feedback, the reimagined venue will offer an enhanced live music experience while preserving the elements that make it an iconic part of Toronto’s cultural landscape.

A new pedestrian bridge will enhance access and facilitate crowd flow, while upgraded amenities include an increased number of on-site food and beverage outlets, enhanced hospitality areas, and a new lookout deck with elevator access to the lawn. Open-lawn seating will remain a central feature of the venue’s identity.

The venue will be renamed RBC Amphitheatre effective immediately and will transform into an expanded year-round venue by 2030.
