One of the biggest bands in the world is set to open a massive outdoor event space in Toronto.
The RBC Amphitheatre (formerly the Budweiser Stage) is a massive outdoor stage space, famously on the grounds of Ontario Place on Toronto’s East Island.
The location is set to open up for the summer season next month, and to kick things off, internationally acclaimed rock band Imagine Dragons will take to the stage as the season opener.
The group is best known for critically acclaimed hits such as “Believer,” “Thunder,” and “Radioactive.”
“Imagine Dragons are hitmakers who captivate global audiences across generations. We’re thrilled to have them headline the Opening Night of RBC Amphitheatre – a milestone moment as we build a new chapter for music fans by connecting them with world-class music experiences and delivering even greater value,” said Mary DePaoli, Chief Marketing Officer of RBC, in an official statement.
The upcoming season at the RBC Amphitheatre is set to be the largest in the venue’s 30-year history, as it is set to feature over 80 live shows.
“As their only amphitheatre performance in North America this year, this moment reflects our shared commitment to delivering unforgettable, world-class experiences while celebrating the unique energy that sets this venue apart.”
Imagine Dragons is set to take the stage on May 21, 2026.
