FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
A huge concert series celebrating Toronto’s local music is taking place in October.

Here is a breakdown of what to expect during this 3-day music festival:
Thursday, October 19
Celebrating the upcoming release of their highly anticipated sophomore album The Space Between, OVO SOUND artists Majid Jordan will kick off 3 Days in Toronto by debuting a dance performance piece, brought to life through their collaboration with The National Ballet of Canada. The show will transform the main room at The Great Hall into a swooning scene of atmospheric song and graceful dance, featuring local ballet talents at center stage. Local R&B starlet a l l i e will support the performance within the Great Hall’s piano room, alongside up-and-coming pop producers.
Friday, October 20
Currently on the road for their fall/winter tour, night two of 3 Days in Toronto will bring Toronto jazz/hip-hop instrumentalists BADBADNOTGOOD back home for a never-before-seen show inside one of the city’s most iconic venues.

Audiences should expect an evening of spontaneity and surprises.
