A warm welcome to Echo Beach

So I attended the Robyn concert a few weeks back and I just want to say FINALLY Toronto has another outdoor venue. This was a long time coming. Echo Beach is located in Ontario Place and it’s exactly where the name suggests, it’s on a beach.

Prior to Echo Beach, the only out-door venues that hosted concerts were large ones like the Molson Amphitheatre, Molson Park (RIP)  and Downsview Park. But you have to get big name artists to get these places filled.  Echo beach has a capacity of about 4000 people. That means Live Nation can book artists with less pull. Which I think is great, considering a lot of my favourite bands can't fill 16 000 seats.

Hurry up and start putting on more concerts here! There is nothing better than listening to music outside in the summer.
