2 w. ago Ariana Grande snubs Toronto on first tour in 7 years and fans are upset

After a long seven-year wait, Ariana Grande is finally hitting the stage again — but not in Toronto. The Grammy Award-winning singer and Oscar-nominated Wicked actress announced her highly anticipated Eternal Sunshine tour on Thursday morning, following a cryptic teaser on social media the day before. Although the announcement was met with celebration from fans across the world, one major city (cough, Toronto, cough) felt the sting of exclusion. Despite a stacked schedule that includes nine major North American cities and a five-night run in London, Grande's tour is skipping over Toronto entirely (at least, for now). Montreal was named as the only Canadian stop on the tour, and for many Toronto fans, that was a hard pill to swallow. "ARIANA IS NOT COMING TO TORONTO I AM FUMINGGGGGG," one fan wrote on X. "Ariana going to Montreal and not Toronto girl wtf are we serious," another wrote. no ariana grande tour dates for to...

Britpop legends Oasis launched the start of their reunion tour's North American leg in Toronto to a sellout crowd on Sunday night.The packed show at Rogers Stadium marked the first of a highly anticipated two-night run — the rock legends' first visit to the city since 2008, after which they broke up and started a feud that lasted 16 years.As someone with fond childhood memories of the 1990s, when Oasis regularly topped the charts and were inescapable on radio airwaves worldwide, I jumped at the opportunity to see a band that could, perhaps, jolt me back to a time long gone.But Oasis is more than just a nostalgia act. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher are known for their constant infighting, violent confrontations with the media, and also, I should probably mention, producing two (and arguably three if you're looking for a hot take) of the greatest albums of the '90s.The band is a story of a sleeper, genre-defining success that, high on hubris, track suits, ...
