As part of the City of Toronto's continuing commitment to create more live music opportunities for our city's vibrant and varied talent, the Live from City Hall concert series – generously supported by TD and in partnership with Music Canada – is relocating for the summer to the Nathan Phillips Square main stage every Thursday at 12:30 p.m. (except July 21).
Each Live from City Hall performance showcases a local artist or band, celebrating the original sounds of Toronto's diverse neighbourhoods. The series is scheduled to run weekly throughout July and August and will return to the rotunda on a twice monthly schedule in the fall. Info LINK Also see Union Summer
