Toronto RBC Amphitheatre
RBC Amphitheatre, originallly known as Molson Amphiheatre and formerly named Budweiser Stage is an amphitheatre venue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It's capacity sits at around 16,000 and is located on the site of the former Forum, which was demolished over the winter in 1994/1995.
Upon the amphitheatre's opening in May of 1995, Bryan Adams performed two nights as the venue's opening concerts. The venue quickly garnered positive reviews, making the venue win the "Best New Concert Venue" award in the opening year, presented by RPM Magazine. In the same year, Van Halen performed two shows which were recorded for an unreleased live album. Two years later, in 1997, Rush performed two nights with the first night being filmed for a DVD release, before being scrapped due to technical issues, as the technology was quite new at the time. Some of the footage was later released in the Rush R40 box set in 2014. Between 2010 and 2022, the amphitheatre paid host to Drake's annual OVO Festival eight times, featuring rappers such as Jay Z, Eminem, The Weeknd and more.
Muse have played at the venue two times, with another gig incoming in the near future. In 2004, the band played as support on The Cure's Curiosa World Tour with Interpol, The Rapture and Mogwai. In 2017, the band returned to the venue as part of a co-headlining tour with 30 Seconds to Mars, supported by Pvris. Muse are set to play RBC Amphitheatre again on July 15th, 2026, as part of The Wow! Signal North American Tour, supported by Bloc Party and The Temper Trap.
