Dwayne Gretzky — Massey Hall Toronto 2026 NEW

3 views

Dwayne Gretzky brought a massive dose of musical nostalgia to Toronto’s legendary Massey Hall on October 16, 2026, delivering the kind of high-energy performance that has made the Canadian band a favorite among live music fans. With a repertoire spanning decades of classic rock, pop, and everything in between, the ten-piece powerhouse transformed the historic venue into one enormous singalong.

The setlist was packed with familiar favorites, including Christopher Cross’s “Ride Like the Wind,” The Cranberries’ “Dreams,” Dire Straits’ “Walk of Life,” Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” and Van Halen’s “Right Now.” The second set kept the momentum rolling with ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!,” the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” Queen’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and “Under Pressure.” The band wrapped up with an encore featuring “Home for a Rest,” “9 to 5,” and “I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles).”

Dwayne Gretzky’s secret is its ability to make familiar songs feel exciting all over again. Rather than simply reproducing recordings, the band brings impressive musicianship, infectious enthusiasm, and a genuine appreciation for the music. At Massey Hall, it was a celebration of timeless songs and the shared memories attached to them.
