Drake and Live Nation Canada are collaborating on an intimate new live entertainment venue in Toronto.

Drizzy and Live Nation Canada are making History, the name of the venue, with its doors set to open later this year. The Toronto location will have a 2,500-person capacity with plans to host 200 concerts and events annually.

“Some of my most memorable shows were playing smaller rooms like History,” Drake said in a press release. “I wanted to take those memories and what I learned to create an incredible experience for both the artists and the fans.”

“History will offer guests up-close experiences with their favourite artists that are unrivalled in Toronto,” explained Riley O’Connor, chairman, Live Nation Canada. “We take pride in and expect History to become an important part of the community.”

I just saw, seconds ago, that July Talk had two dates booked for "History" in Toronto and was wondering where that even was. So they've been busily booking dates for this, at least.

“We saw an opportunity to bring Toronto a great new venue, and we have so much gratitude and respect for Drake teaming up with us to bring it to life in the best way possible,” said Michael Rapino, President and CEO, Live Nation Entertainment.

“History will offer guests up-close experiences with their favourite artists that are unrivaled in Toronto. We take pride in and expect History to become an important part of the community,” said Riley O’Connor, Chairman, Live Nation Canada.

History has been in development for over three years, with construction scheduled to be complete later this summer. The venue is situated in the east end of the city, in the heart of the Beaches neighborhood at 1663 Queen Street East.

The venue includes a convertible general admission area and reserved seating configurations for all types of events – from concerts, live entertainment, and galas to community programs and events. Concerts and events, along with additional details and career opportunities, will begin to be announced throughout the coming weeks and months.

Happy to have another mid-sized concert venue, and the interiors look all right. The exterior's serving me "upmarket gentlemen's club" but maybe that's exactly the vibe they were aiming for
 
Looks more like a *bunker with fancy lights than a concert hall though. Is Mr. Drake planning to move in there during an apocalypse?

*Note: If it where me, I would of used board formed concrete instead for that extra effect. <3
