WHEN ROCK RULED THE GARDENS

Toronto is incredible at creating landmark music venues—and even better at shutting them down.

The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Frank Sinatra were just a few of the icons who brought generations of music fans to Maple Leaf Gardens. This arena-sized concert celebrates the artists, anthems and unforgettable nights that made the Gardens part of Toronto’s musical memory.

Closing Time is a two-part musical docu-concert, inspired by Leonard Cohen’s “Closing Time”, tracing the shutdown notices across the venues that define our city.
