The Ontario government has announced details of its plan to revitalize Ontario Place that includes approval for Live Nation to re-tool its seasonal 16K-capacity Budweiser Stage amphitheatre into a year-round live music venue with a 20,000 outdoor capacity and 9,000 indoors.

The 155-acre mixed-use Toronto waterfront park has been a financial boondoggle to the provincial government for over a decade and faces a number of regulatory hurdles before the transformation of the half-century old parkland has met necessary approvals. The schedule for the official re-opening with the new music venue, and separate all-seasons water and adventure parks is 2030.

According to Live Nation, the redesigned amphitheatre will be “designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts. Completed by 2030, the new facility is expected to receive up to 1 million visitors and support more than 900 jobs during events.”
