I have enjoyed several concerts at The Budweiser Stage (formerly Molson Amphitheatre) including Sting, Lenny Kravitz, and Sarah McLachlan. It’s the best concert venue in Toronto during the summer because the venue is right on Lake Ontario, plus you get to enjoy the warm summer air while watching and listening to your favourite musician. And if you purchase seats in the first three sections, you don’t have to worry if it rains as those seats are covered.
The summer 2019 concert season has just been announced by Live Nation and Budweiser Canada. Musicians from many genres will be performing at Budweiser Stage in 2019. The opening night will feature The Strokes in their only North American appearance this year.
New this year is the Budweiser Stage Season Pass, which will give you access to all concerts at Budweiser Stage throughout the 2019 season for one price. The Budweiser Stage Season Pass will cost $750 each, including all service fees for an entire season of concerts. The 2019 Pass is for reserved seats for concerts at Budweiser Stage only and is non-transferable or refundable.
Both the tickets for The Strokes and the Season Pass will go on sale on Friday, March 29, 2019 at 10 a.m. (EST) at Live Nation.
