GTA West GTA East GTA North
Here are a few shows coming up in September, 2023 around the GTA! Keep checking back for updates!
Since websites & socials don't get updated all of the time, I'll be updating all throughout the week as I see new shows! Check back for new shows!
If a band name isn't mentioned, be sure to check the bar/venue's website or socials for updated details! Bar/venue links are listed in the tables below, if available
This website is a work in progress so I'll keep updating and making changes as I go!
Don't see yours? Let me know!
Email me at onstagegta@gmail.com or message me on FB or IG!
FB - @onstagegta
IG - @onstage-gta
I'll update as often as I can - there's a LOT of Live Music in the GTA - so keep checking back for updates!
I hope you find this list useful! It's a labour of love & I'll be making changes to the layout & function as I go.
Cheers everyone!
