Live Nation Canada just announced that the Budweiser Stage at Ontario Place is getting a major facelift.

The space will be transformed into a "modern" year-round event and performance venue with the capacity to host up to 20,000 people outdoors and 9,000 people indoors.

The revamped venue will even include retractable walls to make sure guests are able to enjoy events in rain or shine.

"The new state-of-the-art amphitheatre will continue to attract world-class artists and provide premiere live entertainment, hosting live music and other events," reads a press release from Live Nation.

The new design centres around sustainability, according to the release, and will focus on, "energy savings, water efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts."

This announcement is part of the provincial government's plans to revitalize Ontario Place, which was officially announced on July 30 at a press conference.

The project is expected to be complete in 2030, and create over 900 jobs and attract up to 1 million visitors per year.
