Danforth Music Hall — Attraction in Toronto

Danforth Music Hall was one of the best sounding venue i have been to .(and i have been to over 250 venues, played at over 40). I love the slanted stage how everyone in the back can also see - very intelligent design. the security was very helpful and nice while still doing their jobs - this is rare. most security aggravate people and cause more problems. I lost an item and they kept it in a lost and found which was very professional. The fun/nice vibe of the security also spread to the concert goes which made the overall experience more fun. The sound was amazing. Most venues have the upstroke guitar too quiet, danforth music hall nailed it. everything was balanced and wasn't too loud. The West and East bar labels are also very intellegent it allowed me to easily meet up with my friends and also know the direction when I had to leave the venue. The place was also big enough that it wasn't too clustered so people could actually have room to dance and circle pit. The air conditioning was sufficient so that I was comfortable for the whole show. Allowing patrons to go in and out of the venue was very convenient so that we could go eat and not have to bring our phones/other items into the venue. The street parking on danforth is free after 9pm which is amazing - i was parked 10 steps from the door.

also intimate but not cramped - love how the stage is fairly low (they can do this without obscuring view because of the slanted venue design) allowing us to feel closer to the performer, people in the front also don't need to bend their head up to see.

5 stars and then some - i am very pleased.

I hope my favourite bands keep playing here...

The Danforth Music Hall is a concert venue located near Broadview Station. It is easily accessible by public transit and is a popular destination for music fans in the city. Built in 1919, the venue is known for hosting a wide range of live music events, from rock and pop concerts to comedy shows and community events.

The venue has a seating capacity of approximately 1,500 and features a large stage, a state-of-the-art sound system, and a full bar and concession area. From security at the front door, coat check, merchandise booth, and about five areas for beverages. The unique feature about this venue is the slightly sloped floor which can provide a clear view of the stage and able to see all of the performers on stage. The acoustics were great, with the music sounding crisp and clear throughout the entire show. The bathrooms are separated on west and east side of the venue. When the show ends, the venue opens up an extra exit on the west side of the building that exits to the outside. Do note, they do not allow for re-entry, so make sure to grab your coat before you leave! If you have will-call tickets, the Box Office is located east of the main doors and will require your ID to pick up your tickets.

All in all, would highly recommend the Danforth Music Hall to anyone looking for a great concert experience. The sightlines and acoustics are great, and the historical significance of the venue only adds to its charm.

Fun fact: They also have a restaurant called Danforth Sidebar next door with delicious pizza and lists the set times at...

I've always loved the Danforth as a concert venue, I think it's great how there are almost always multiple merch booths and plenty of places to get drinks from. The slope makes for an easy viewing point pretty much no matter where you are in the venue, and the sound is almost always great.

I also really heavily want to praise the Danforth for its care for disabled concert goers, as we felt like we seen and helped when needed by every staff member we came across, which made us feel very valued. There is a disabled section by the front of the venue, and while I think it's a great spot that we're definitely thankful for, my biggest issue is allowing crowd surfers to use the disabled section as an exit back to the crowd.

Unfortunately, my husband is in a wheelchair due to a deteriorating condition in his knee, and as the crowd surfers were anxious to get back to the crowd, one of them slipped and fell and landed directly on my husband's knee, causing him to spend the rest of the concert in immense pain. I was surprised that the surfers were encouraged to go out on our side when the first half of the concert they were directed to the other side of the stage from us, so the sudden change wasn't something we could anticipate. I would highly recommend adding some form of barrier or fence in between the crowd surfers and the disability section to avoid any sort of incident like this in the future, especially for a venue that otherwise is amazing with...
