History (venue)

History is a live music venue located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Owned and operated by Live Nation Canada in partnership with Drake, the venue opened in November 2021.

Located in the east end of Toronto at 1663 Queen Street East, the venue occupies the space previously home to the Rock ‘N’ Horse Saloon. History boasts a flexible capacity of up to 2,500 patrons, making it a mid-size venue suitable for a wide range of musical acts and performances.

The venue’s design emphasizes a modern, versatile space with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems intended to enhance the concert experience. The interior features multiple bars, elevated viewing platforms, and a large general admission area.

History aims to fill a gap in Toronto’s live music scene by providing a dedicated space for both established artists and emerging talent. The venue hosts a diverse range of genres, including rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic music, and more.

Prior to its opening, the venue was highly anticipated due to Drake’s involvement and the perceived need for a new mid-sized venue in Toronto. The venue quickly established itself as a popular destination for music fans and a key player in the city's live music ecosystem.
