Guns N’ Roses: World Tour 2026 Hits Toronto with Public Enemy
The “Most Dangerous Band in the World” is back to reclaim the throne.
On Wednesday, August 5, 2026, the roar of 50,000 fans will fill the North York sky as Guns N’ Roses brings their massive World Tour 2026 to Rogers Stadium. This isn’t just a concert—it’s a historic collision of rock royalty and hip-hop pioneers that will go down as the must-see spectacle of the summer.

Axl, Slash, and Duff are hitting the road with a vengeance, bringing a setlist that spans from the grit of Appetite for Destruction to their brand-new singles, “Nothin’” and “Atlas.”

A Legendary Pairing: GNR x Public Enemy
In a move that highlights Axl Rose’s longtime respect for the “Prophets of Rage,” the iconic Public Enemy will be opening the show. Expect Chuck D and Flavor Flav to set the stadium on fire with politically charged anthems like “Fight the Power” and “Bring the Noise,” setting a high-octane stage for the Gunners to take over.

Here is a concise transit and parking guide for Rogers Stadium at YZD (Downsview).

🏟️ Know Before You Go: Getting to Rogers Stadium (YZD)
Located at the historic Downsview Airport lands (105 Carl Hall Road), Rogers Stadium is a massive open-air venue. Because it’s a new development, onsite parking is extremely limited—public transit is your best friend.
🚇 Public Transit (TTC & GO)

Downsview Park Station: This is the closest and most convenient stop. It services both the TTC Line 1 (Yonge-University) and the Barrie GO Line.

The Walk: Once you arrive at Downsview Park Station, it is a roughly 10-minute walk along a designated pedestrian path to the stadium gates.

Alternative Stations: Sheppard West and Wilson Stations are also nearby. From Wilson Station, look for the special TTC bus service that often runs directly to the stadium on event days.

🚗 Parking & Driving

No Onsite Public Parking: There is no general public parking at the stadium.

Satellite Lots: Your best bet is to “Park and Ride.” Use the commuter lots at nearby TTC stations:

Highway 407 Station

Pioneer Village Station

Finch West Station

York University (Paid commuter lots available with quick subway access).

Road Closures: Be aware that Carl Hall Road usually closes to through traffic on concert days starting in the early afternoon.

🚕 Rideshare (Uber/Lyft)

Designated Zone: To avoid traffic chaos, all rideshare pick-ups and drop-offs are directed to a specific lot located at 111 Beffort Rd (North of Wilson Ave).

Pro-Tip: Expect high surge pricing and long wait times immediately after the show. Walking back toward the subway is often faster!

🚲 Cycling

Bike Valet: Rogers Stadium often partners with Cycle Toronto to provide complimentary, secure bike lock-ups near Gate 1.

Bike Share: Temporary Bike Share Toronto docks are typically installed near the venue for major event days.

Why This Event is ‘Legendary’
This isn’t just another Sunday session; it’s a cultural milestone for the 6ix.
David “Ram Jam” Rodigan is a British icon whose career spans over 40 years. Known as the ultimate “Selector,” he has championed reggae and dancehall globally, earning an MBE for his services to broadcasting and music. To see him in an intimate Toronto setting is a rare privilege.
Sharing the stage is Toronto’s own DJ Starting From Scratch. As one of the most versatile DJs on the planet, Scratch has toured with legends like Russell Peters and Usher. His ability to blend genres—from old-school R&B to high-energy Soca—makes him the perfect counterpart to Rodigan’s reggae mastery.
What to Expect at Acqua

First Come First Serve: The Wild Flower Edition 2026 – Toronto’s Premier Open Bar Day Party Returns
The hiatus is over. Toronto’s “People’s Party” is back to kick off the spring season with the highly anticipated Wild Flower Edition. On Saturday, May 2, 2026, First Come First Serve (FCFS) returns with a fresh vision, a new identity, and the same commitment to the community.

The Evolution: On Brand On
The creative force behind FCFS (formerly known as Ten Times Ten) has officially rebranded to On Brand On. This change aligns with the co-founders’ evolving creative vision, ensuring that FCFS remains the city’s most engaging and “On Brand” social experience.
Key Changes for 2026:
To remain sustainable and high-quality amidst rising operational costs, FCFS is implementing three major updates:

Ticket Only Entry: To ensure a seamless experience, FCFS is now a ticket-only event. There will be no pay-at-the-door admission.
Updated Open Bar: Cognac is stepping aside to make room for Dark Rum, balancing the bar’s flavor profile.

Time: 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Day Party)

Why FCFS is “The People’s Party”
In an era of economic uncertainty, FCFS stands firm in its mission to provide a premium experience without the gatekept pricing. It is a space built for the culture, by the culture. From the curated open bar to the intentional atmosphere, this is the tone-setter for the 2026 festivities.
How to Attend
