The top 10 concerts in Toronto this winter

Winter concerts in Toronto feature stadium-filling international pop stars as well as up and coming local acts garnering lots of attention. From Lana Del Ray to Lido Pimienta to Demi Lovato, here are my picks for must-see concerts to warm you up this season. 

Events you might want to check out:

The Killers (January 5 @ Air Canada Centre)
Mr. Brightside himself, Brandon Flowers, and the rest of his Las Vegas rock band take over the ACC in support of their 2017 album, Wonderful Wonderful.
Lana Del Rey (January 15 @ Air Canada Centre)
The Queen of dream pop graces Toronto with her baroque, cinematic compositions. Last year saw the release of Del Rey's fifth album, Lust for Life, so expect to hear plenty of music from that record.
A Tribe Called Red (January 19 @ The Danforth Music Hall)
Triumphant, educational, and catchy as heck, A Tribe Called Red's 2016 LP We Are the Halluci Nation is just a phenomenal record. Their live show celebrates Indigenous history with gorgeous on screen visuals.
Brockhampton (February 8 @ REBEL)
The 15-member hip hop collective released a trilogy of albums in 2017 and are now bringing all three to Toronto, showcasing each member's unique musical skill set live.
Lido Pimienta (February 17 @ The Drake Hotel)
2017 Polaris Prize winning musician and Toronto local Lido Pimienta brings music from La Papessa to the Drake Hotel.
Tyler, the Creator & Vince Staples (February 17 @ Ricoh Coliseum)
Two rap powerhouses hit the stage for one night in Toronto during their joint North American tour.
Lights (March 1 @ The Danforth Music Hall)
Following the release of her album and multimedia story Skin&Earth, Lights returns to Toronto for two nights at the Danforth Music Hall.
Weird Al Yankovic (March 8 @ The Danforth Music Hall)
After over three decades of musical satire, the multi-Grammy winning artist tries an intimate night of music focused on the non-parody tracks from his 14 album discography.
Miguel (March 12 @ REBEL)
Touring in support of his fourth studio album War & Leisure (of which you get a free digital copy when you buy tickets), Miguel will bring his usual sultriness to the stage with a heavy dose of reverb thrown in for good measure.
Demi Lovato & DJ Khaled (March 19 @ Air Canada Centre)
Just as winter comes to a close, Demi Lovato and DJ Khaled will bring a dose of social media star power to the ACC in support of the former's 2017 album Tell Me You Love Me.
