Stereolab at Danforth Music Hall

Play Live in 2025

Toronto! Aren’t you just SO ready to Come And Play In The Milky Night sky?! Right here with us for an all night rager here at  Danforth Music Hall - the night we’re blessed to be baptized in sound! When the one, the  only Stereolab rolls through on Monday, October 6th, bringing their Play Live in 2025 Tour straight to our eardrums. This isn’t just another show on a long list of stops – this is a night for the true indie bass heads, the crate diggers, the people who know what it means to catch a band that literally shaped the DNA of modern indie, post-rock, electronica, and everything in between. And don’t even play with the Stereo boys – this tour run is stacked with standout dates!  Before Toronto, they’re lighting up Brooklyn Steel and Théâtre Beanfield, after us they’re rolling into Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago – but the Danforth stop has that energy. That electricity. That space where the sound gets swallowed up by the crowd and shot back at the stage ten times louder. Add Dorothea Paas opening the night, weaving her dreamlike songwriting into the mix, and you’ve got the perfect way to set the tone for what’s coming.

Fresh off their new album Instant Holograms on Metal Film (yes, the title is as wild as the music inside), Stereolab is proving yet again that they’re not some nostalgia act – they’re innovators, constantly bending time and genre like it’s no big deal. Toronto is about to get one of those once-in-a-lifetime, “I was there” type nights, when the grooves lock in, the synths shimmer, and Laetitia Sadier’s voice cuts through the room like a neon signal from another galaxy. For anyone still asleep, here’s the history lesson: Stereolab came out of the early ‘90s like they were beamed in from another planet, collaging krautrock motorik rhythms with French pop sweetness, psychedelic swirls, and avant-garde electronics. They’ve dropped classics like Emperor Tomato Ketchup and Dots and Loops, influenced literally everyone (yes, even your fave), took a break, came back in 2019, and haven’t missed a step since. Legends, but also forever forward-thinking.

So yeah, indie-heads, this is the one. Forget scrolling past another event invite – Toronto is about to be the epicenter of Stereolab’s intergalactic sound machine, and you do not want to be the one hearing about it secondhand. Grab your tickets, lock in your crew, and prepare to zone out and freak out at the Danforth. This is history, live and loud. See you right here in the middle of the pit - ready to rage out all night long!
