Live Nation announces new Rogers Stadium with capacity of 50K in Toronto

Live Nation has announced plans to construct an open-air music venue in Toronto’s northern region, which will have a capacity of 50,000.

According to Erik Hoffman, an executive with Live Nation Canada, the new Rogers Stadium is expected to host its inaugural events in June 2025. The venue will be situated on the former Downsview Airport lands, adjacent to Downsview Park.

Hoffman noted that the stadium is designed to accommodate major artists, offer various food and beverage options, and enhance the overall fan experience.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford remarked that the stadium, which will operate seasonally, will significantly benefit the province's arts, culture, and tourism industries. He added that it will attract visitors from across the globe and generate thousands of jobs.

The 150-hectare Downsview Airport Lands are currently being redeveloped by Northcrest and will also feature housing.
