It appears Toronto’s newest and largest concert venue will be ready in time for the first show this summer as construction is underway, according to Live Nation.
The Rogers Stadium is an open-air concert experience that will be held at the former Downsview airport lands – with a seating capacity of 50,000, slightly larger than the 49,000 capacity at the Rogers Centre.
The stadium was announced last September as a seasonal venue that will host mega concerts during the summer season only.
K-pop band Stray Kids is set to kick off the Stadium’s first summer run on June 29, which means construction is expected to be complete before then.

“At this time, we can confirm that everything is still on track and will be ready in time for the first show on June 29. More details will be shared with the media in the coming months,” the statement said.
This summer’s concert lineup also includes Coldplay, Oasis, System of a Down and Deftones, Oasis, and K-pop girl group BLACKPINK.

Some acts have already managed to sell out the stadium as anticipation builds up.
Directions on how to get to the venue, located in the city’s north end, can be found on the stadium’s website.
