Don't freak out if you hear the sounds of pulsating bass and thumping beats arising out of one Toronto park this summer: it's just Boiler Room, one of the hottest parties in the world, back in the city for its 2025 season.
Toronto has no shortage of outdoor concerts and dance parties all summer long, from weekly Sunday raves at Cherry Beach to the Electric Island series, but perhaps the most anticipated of the entire season is Boiler Room, which is set to return to the city this September for a day packed with some of the hottest DJs working today.
Known for hosting steamy, sweaty dance parties soundtracked by sought-after musicians all around the world (we're talking from Buenos Aires to Belfast), Boiler Room, a London-based music broadcaster, has cemented its reputation as a global power in electronic, house and dance music — gaining popularity for said international events in particular.
Over the past few years, Toronto has been lucky enough to be a part of the party, with last year's event drawing thousands of revellers to the Beaches' Woodbine Park as talents including Nico Moreno, SHERELLE, Chase & Status, and local stars Nino Brown and Young Teesh.
This summer, the party is coming back to life from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13, once again taking over Woodbine Park for one seismic day, complete with multiple stages and what's sure to be a next-level lineup.
Tickets officially go on sale on Tuesday, June 3 at 10 a.m., and you can sign up for the latest updates through Boiler Room's website.
While the acts for this year's Toronto event have yet to be announced, Boiler Room does confirm that the list is "coming soon" and promises a "(very) special program," so this year's party might just be the biggest and best yet.
