14 must-see concerts in Toronto this March
Must-see concerts in Toronto this March are especially dense with world-famous pop stars, but there are also a few indie titans we haven’t seen in a while, a pair of punk bands from New Jersey, and at least two former Polaris-Prize nominees. Here’s what’s on tap.

DateAbout the EventLocation-
March 6Eclectic and inventive as ever, Merrill Garbus officially made her indie-pop project a duo with longtime collaborator Nate Brenner, and they’ll bring their politically centred new tunes to the Danforth.

March 102008 was a scary time: stock markets crashed, Twilight was popular and cell phones had flip-out keyboards. But one of the bright spots was this Montreal band’s debut LP. They’ll celebrate Parc Avenue’s 10th birthday with a full performance.

March 13It’s cool that Mr. “Man of the Woods” (a.k.a “sometimes I wear more flannel now?!”) kicks off his world tour with us, but let’s hope he brings more than his Superbowl game to the ACC over two nights.Air Canada Centre

March 13Jersey’s normally “Dimed Out” punks decided to turn things down to brooding-ballad level with latest release A Productive Cough, and in that light are embarking on their first acoustic tour.The Great Hall Toronto

March 14Conversely, these other Jersey punks are about as loud as ever and extending the fury over their first double album.
-
March 16To us late-90s kids who read Chart Attack in print, this is the mild Can-Con equivalent of Axl Rose and Slash finally making peace for a reunion. The pair of alt-rock vets apparently like each other now and are touring hand-in-hand across the country.
-
March 19It’s been a quiet few years (and maybe a couple weird ones before that), but the duo is back to making their trademark psychedelic-pop earworms for the masses.
-
March 29The “noh wave” collective’s new incarnation is at last ready for a full unveiling of new tunes, five years after the Polaris-nominated Uzu, and it sounds like they’re in their most progressive form yet.
-
March 31The eternally beloved indie band is about to release their 15th studio LP and will bring their gentle jams to the Phoenix for one night only.The Phoenix Concert Theatre
