TORONTO, ON – Arcade Fire, one of the most influential bands of the past two decades, have just announced a special headline show at Toronto’s Massey Hall on Thursday, May 1, 2025.
One of two Canadian dates in a run of intimate ‘Don’t Think About Pink Elephant’ gigs in select cities around the world to mark the release of new album Pink Elephant on May 9, this Massey Hall show will see the band perform the new record in its entirety.

Today’s news follows the recent announcement that the band is back with brand new music, nearly three years after the release of their acclaimed album WE (2022). Composed of 10 new tracks, Pink Elephant is Arcade Fire’s seventh studio album, with the first single ‘Year of the Snake’ a joyous instant classic buoyed by the enveloping warmth of Régine Chassagne’s vocals, delivering the unique trademark sound of Arcade Fire. The song’s title refers to 2025 being the Lunar Year of the Snake, which represents a time for renewal, positive transformation, and new beginnings.
The Circle of Trust presale for Arcade Fire’s show at Massey Hall begin Thursday, April 17 with general sales starting Friday, April 18 at 10 AM local time.
