Live Nation

World’s leading live entertainment company, Live Nation plans to fully redesign and rebuild the Budweiser Stage at Ontario Place, transforming it into a modern, year-round, indoor-outdoor live music and performance venue with an expanded capacity of 20,000 in the summer and 9,000 in the winter.

With sustainability at the heart of the design, the redesigned amphitheatre at Ontario Place will be designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

Completion is expected by 2030, with the new facility expected to receive up to one million visitors per year.
