The seasonal, 50,000-capacity stadium at the old Downsview Airport (YZD) will formally open on June 29 with a live show from K-pop boy band Stray Kids.
It will host 15 shows from June to September, with Coldplay and Oasis performing multiple shows.

K-pop girl group Blackpink will do two shows on Tuesday, July 22, and Wednesday, July 23.

Artists like Chris Brown, Hozier and metal bands like System of a Down and Deftones will also perform shows between August and September.
To service all these big shows, Oak View Group is hiring across various hospitality roles, with duties covering everything from serving drinks to cooking in a restaurant.
