Bud stage is my favourite concert venue in Toronto. The seating area is partially/mostly covered, but if you’re in the lawn section, you’re fully exposed—though it’s usually a great party vibes Some concerts will have chairs set up on the lawn, other times you can bring your own blanket to sit on.

If you’re planning to eat/ drink there, be prepared to spend. The drink prices are ridiculously high, and concessions overall aren’t cheap but that’s to be expected, there are lots of options.  If you’re after a fun outdoor venue with a great crowd, Budweiser Stage delivers (especially if the weather is good and sunsets are showing off). It does get a bit breezy here even on summer nights as it’s near the lake, so good idea to bring a sweater on cooler nights.

If you’re planning to catch a train etc after the show, be prepared to wait. It’s a bit slow moving to exit after the show & traffic is brutal, but it’s worth it if you aren’t in a rush!

Ok so I really love this venue for summer concerts. It has great vibes for that. However, it could use some updates… (washroom facilities could be better, that’s my biggest suggestion). Acoustics can be wonky, but overall you can still hear everything.

A great venue for seeing a concert with a young child (we saw Red Hot Chili Peppers in July 2024). Guest services can also provide a sensory bag which had noise cancelling headphones and toys with which they can occupy themselves while they wait (though I had my own items). The open air setting and lawn seating were great

Dirty and worn out. Crowded obviously. Perhaps I’m getting a little less tolerant.  But the show quality lessens each year. People in front standing and blocking view. Gets old. We went to see Imagine Dragons which are great, perform fantastic. Just a great show. I have been fortunate enough to see them every time they have come to TO since the band has been touring.
But the venue is getting old. Rough and dirty.
If you can get the right seats the view is the best but you really have to pay up and get the right timing. Not unusual to pay a $1000 for a decent seat. Which is wasteful. Too bad really. The ticket selling company has monopoly and the scalpers are extortionate. Makes it difficult to get decent seats to a good show.
But that’s concert going life it seems.
Besides if a company invests in giving this place a facelift, the prices would be even more insane ! Just my opinion.

Keep in mind traffic as well. Always brutal around show time!!! Just ridiculously terrible!!!

First time at the Budweiser Stage to see Post Malone. Concert itself was fantastic. Staff were really nice.we came early to park our car and that went smooth. Venue its self was disappointing there is only one exit out it was very crowded and unorganized feeling. Likely wouldn’t return here again.
