Toronto, Bruno Mars is coming to town, which means another music-filled season at Rogers Stadium is officially underway. Here’s everything you need to know before the show, from how to get there to bag policies, opening acts and weather expectations.
The concert is at Rogers stadium, not Rogers Centre
First things first: this is a Rogers Stadium show, not a Rogers Centre show. Concert-goers will be heading to the venue at Downsview Park in Toronto’s north end.
How to get to Rogers Stadium on TTC and GO Transit
The easiest way to get there is by taking the TTC to Downsview Park Station or hopping on GO Transit’s Barrie Line to the same stop. Once you arrive, follow the signs to the stadium, it’s about a 10-minute walk from the station.
On-site parking at Rogers Stadium
On-site parking is limited and must be purchased in advance through Ticketmaster, subject to availability. The parking lot can be accessed via 400 William R. Allen Rd. while heading southbound. Once you reach the address, turn right onto the access road leading into the lot.
Rogers Stadium bag policy
Like most major venues, Rogers Stadium has a strict bag policy. Only small clutches, belt bags, fanny packs or clear bags are permitted to help staff safely and efficiently screen guests entering the venue. Backpacks will not be allowed inside.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early to explore the venue, snap photos and check out the fan zone, which includes a giant Ferris wheel offering sweeping views of the city skyline.
What time do the doors open for the Bruno Mars concert in Toronto?
Doors open at 7 p.m., but there’s no need to stress if you’re running late, as opening acts will hit the stage before Mars makes his appearance.
Opening lineup for Bruno Mars in Toronto
Toronto audiences will be treated to a stacked opening lineup featuring R&B star Leon Thomas and Anderson .Paak performing as DJ Pee Wee. Each opener is expected to perform for roughly 45 minutes.
Once those sets wrap up, Mars is expected to take the stage around 8:45 p.m. His performance will run for approximately two hours.
Toronto weather for Bruno Mars concert
As for the weather, fans attending the May 23 and 24 shows should prepare for some light rain, with precipitation currently in the forecast. Temperatures are also expected to stay in the low teens, so bringing a light sweater or jacket is a good idea.
Meanwhile, concert-goers attending the May 27, 28 and 30 dates can expect sunnier skies, dry conditions and temperatures in the low 20s, ideal weather for an outdoor concert experience at Rogers Stadium.
