Garth Brooks at TD Coliseum

Garth Brooks Live in December

Country music artist Garth Brooks has added a third show, bringing his performances at TD Coliseum to three consecutive days spanning Dec. 4, Dec. 5, and Dec. 6. The Dec. 6 performance is billed as a matinee show. The dates form part of the Blame It All On My Roots arena tour, bringing the multi-night engagement to the state-of-the-art arena that opened last fall as a renovation of the venue formerly known as Copps Coliseum. The shows feature both end-stage and in-the-round seating formats for the audience.

This winter run suits travellers wanting to combine a major arena concert with a city break in Southern Ontario. Visitors can easily base themselves in the urban core and balance the arena events with urban exploration, local dining, and seasonal activities. The timing aligns with the wider return to arena touring for Brooks, who has previously brought the Blame It All On My Roots tour through cities such as Indianapolis, Denver, Rosemont, Washington DC, Orlando, Salt Lake City, Tulsa, Kansas City, and Seattle.

A short trip fits nicely into a Toronto 3-day itinerary, allowing time to explore neighbourhoods, galleries, and winter markets before heading to the arena shows. The concerts offer a chance for Canadian fans to see the artist perform in a setting smaller than the stadiums that have hosted many of his largest past productions.

Tickets for the TD Coliseum shows go on sale through Ticketmaster, and buyers should check the official ticketing page for availability. There is a limit per customer of eight tickets per purchase, and all tickets go on sale at once with no previous presale.

For travellers coming from the city core, getting to the region is straightforward. Pearson is the main airport, with a direct rail link to Union Station, and Billy Bishop airport sits on the waterfront for short flights. VIA Rail and GO trains arrive at Union Station, right in the downtown core. You can check the How to Get to Toronto guide for more details on routes and transit.

When deciding where to stay, our Where to Stay in Toronto guide notes that staying downtown provides the shortest first trip. Alternatively, Queen West or the Annex offer cafes and evenings, while Old Town features markets and historic streets. Big events push prices up, so booking early is recommended.

• Plan for winter because it is properly cold, so pack warm layers for moving between the venue and transit stops.
• Check the weather first if you plan to view the city from the tower or take the ferry to the islands during your stay.
• Use the subway, streetcars, and buses to get around the city core, as walking and public transit cover the main areas without needing a car.
• Take advantage of budget options by walking neighbourhood streets or visiting the lakeshore and parks, which cost nothing.
