TORONTO — The countdown is over. Summer in the city officially begins as Budweiser Stage kicks off its 2025 season today with Sessanta V 2.0, a powerhouse triple bill featuring Primus, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. The opening show sets the tone for what promises to be a blockbuster concert season at Toronto’s iconic lakeside venue.
With 64 shows already scheduled and more still to be announced, Budweiser Stage is again staking its claim as North America’s premier outdoor concert destination. From rock legends to genre-defying artists, this year’s lineup is designed to offer “something for everyone” — and it doesn’t stop at the music.
New Food, Drinks, and Local Collaborations
Fans can look forward to an upgraded hospitality experience this summer. The 2025 season brings new specialty cocktails from Aperol Spritz, Absolut, and Spirit of York, a Toronto-based distillery. For those looking to go alcohol-free, Corona Cero will be on hand with refreshing non-alcoholic options. The venue is also expanding its food menu, with new additions aimed at making your concert night a full culinary experience.
The Corona Oasis returns this year with pre- and post-show programming, offering a relaxed space to hang out with friends before and after the show.

More Than a Venue
“Budweiser Stage has always been more than just a music venue,” say organizers.

With the waterfront as a backdrop, every night at the amphitheatre is a celebration of music, joy, and community.
