Toronto’s much-anticipated new live entertainment venue History, a collaboration between Drake and Live Nation, opened its doors for the first time last night. The venue kicked off with a sold-out and electrifying performance headlined by Jack Antonoff’s indie-pop band Bleachers. Located at 1663 Queen Street East in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood, the 2,500-capacity world-class venue is quickly establishing itself as a must-play destination for local and international acts touring Canada. With a state-of-the-art audiovisual system and an incredibly intimate feel, guests will enjoy up-close entertainment with their favourite artists that is unrivalled in Toronto. The site will also add a significant contribution to the east end’s vibrant culture and community, delivering a wide array of eclectic music and arts programming, with plans to host 200 events annually.
