Budweiser Stage, Concert venue at Ontario Place, Toronto, Canada
Budweiser Stage is an amphitheater venue on Lake Ontario in Toronto with covered seating for approximately 5,500 people and open grass areas for roughly 4,500 more. The grounds sit directly along the shoreline, using the waterfront setting as a natural backdrop for performances.
The site was founded in 1995 originally as Molson Amphitheatre and received its current name in 2017 through a sponsorship deal. This name change marked a significant shift in the venue's evolution as an established concert destination.
The venue hosts performances throughout the year featuring artists from around the world spanning rock, pop, and hip-hop genres. Visitors enjoy live music against the backdrop of the lake, where the waterfront location shapes the concert experience.
Visitors should note that tickets are available only through a mobile app, as the venue operates an entirely digital ticketing system. A bag policy limits containers to 12 by 12 inches (30 by 30 centimeters) to maintain security throughout the grounds.
The venue appeals to audiences partly because large sections allow people to sit on the grass rather than in fixed seats. This creates a more relaxed and social environment where visitors can move around and gather more freely with friends and family.
