The Piano Guys are four fathers from Utah who make beautiful music together using several different musical instruments, only one of which is actually a piano. Last week they did just that in front of a packed house at TD Place in Ottawa.
Revolution 3 Tour, feat Stone Temple Pilots, Bush and The Cult at Budweiser Stage in Toronto
Live Nation hosted The Revolution 3 Tour at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto. This show is an amalgamation of Stone Temple Pilots, Bush and The Cult. When the tour was announced I was excited to be able to see Stone Temple Pilots and the Cult for the first time. This concert isn’t your typical headliner with supporting acts, they all shared equal stage time.

Avenged Sevenfold bring the Stage World Tour to Ottawa
There was no shortage of a crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre for Sunday night’s Avenged Sevenfold show. Unsure of what to expect in terms of crowd size for a Sunday night, I was pleasantly surprised by a decent crowd for the first set. Bullet For My Valentine was first up on the bill and went on just after six, which is quite early, but the crowd was excited and ready for the night to begin. Groups of those on the floor were eagerly awaiting the headliners, while many were clearly fans of all three bands. The Welsh heavy metal band got the crowd going, encouraging those on the floor to start moshing they traced back through their bands history for songs. Tornado pits quickly grew in the crowd and bodies began surfing around those with tickets on the floor.
Live Nation’s Great Canadian Hometown Tours, a great way to save on concerts!
Everyone knows we love live music, we have the luxury of getting into many of our favourite shows as media but we know that for most of you that’s not the case and sometimes it’s tough to pick and choose which shows you’re going to take in. While Live Nation hopes to make that choice a little easier with their Great Canadian Hometown Tours promotion!
Love metal legends HIM bringing farewell tour to Toronto.
Finnish love metal legends HIM will be stopping at Rebel in Toronto next Monday, November 13th as a part of their North American farewell tour.
The band announced earlier this year they will be calling it quits after 26 years.
“At the end of 2017 we will be released into the wild,” said bassist Mige. “Before this event of great transformation we would love to offer you one last chance to experience our live performances in His Majesty’s service. It shall not be a weepfest but a celebration of love metal in all its lovecraftian glory! See you there!”
His Infernal Majesty AKA HIM was formed in Helsinki, Finland in 1991 by front man Ville Valo and bassist Mikko “Mige” Paananen. Guitarist Mikko “Linde” Lindstrom soon joined as well as the drummer Mika “Gas Lipstick” Karppinen a few years later. Their debut album Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 was released in 1997, and gained huge popularity in Finland with one of its biggest singles, the Chris Isaak cover Wicked Game.
The 2000 album Razorblade Romance launched HIM into the top of the charts in Finland and Germany, and eventually 2005 album Dark Light which reached the charts in fifteen countries.
HIM found its way to the North America audiences when Jackass alumn Bam Margera discovered the band and became good friends with frontman Valo. Margera ended up directing three of the band’s music videos, including Buried Alive By Love starring Juliette Lewis.
Countless live shows and eight studio albums later, the band is saying their goodbyes to there fans with an extensive tour. The North American tour finishes on November 17th in New York City, and continues to Europe, with one last show on New Years Eve at their home stage at Tavastia in Helsinki.
Tickets to HIM’s Toronto show with special guests CKY and 3TEETH are still available Ticketmaster.
