Presented by Matthew Perry House (of the TV show Friends) and Make Music Matter, the annual benefit concert returns to Toronto’s Massey Hall on September 10, bringing together music, storytelling, and community in support of mental health and drug use recovery initiatives.
This year’s event will be co-hosted by Canadian comedy icon Bruce McCulloch and Superstore actress, comedian and musician Lauren Ash, with performances by The Strumbellas, Aysanabee, Julian Taylor, Tim Hicks, Crown Lands, The Washboard Union, Fefe Dobson, Maestro Fresh Wes, Michie Mee, Bif Naked, Hill Kourkoutis, Aaron Solowoniuk (Billy Talent), Menno Versteeg (Hollerado), Sekou Lumumba (Big Wreck), Todd Morse (The Offspring) and Cone McCaslin & Dave Baksh (Sum 41).
The inaugural 2025 event, presented by Bell Let’s Talk, quickly established Live Loud as a powerful new platform, with its impact extending beyond the stage through a companion documentary that later aired nationally on Crave TV alongside Bell Let’s Talk Day 2026.
To celebrate this amazing cause, we’re giving away (2) tickets to one lucky person.
