The top concerts in Toronto this winter range from massive stadium tours with lots of lights and explosions to more heart and soul warming shows from guys like the Drive By Truckers who have had quite a year thanks to their fantastic and controversial new album. From pop to country, R&B and full-out rock, it's going to be a noisy winter.
