Pop rock and variety concert halls Toronto

The little brother of Roy Thomson Hall, Massey Hall presents high-quality musical performances. But after more than a century of existence and thousands of performances, the hall undertook a huge restoration project in the summer of 2018. And the task was daunting, affecting everything from the seating to the 100-plus stained glass windows to the restoration of the Art Deco-style lobby. The reopening took place with great fanfare in November 2021. Also to be discovered on site: the TD Music Hall, a new, more intimate performance hall located on the^4th floor.

Emblematic address of the Queen City, flanked by its colorful and graffiti-filled frontage, Lee's Palace is a show bar that is really worth a visit. The place is divided into two levels, depending on whether you want to be quiet with your beer or to sway in front of the stage. Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins and Oasis have already played at Lee's. The Dance Cave, a nightclub open on Friday and Saturday and offering alternative and indie music, is also on site.
