Legendary Canadian troubadour Gordon Lightfoot will give Toronto’s storied concert venue Massey Hall one last hurrah before it undergoes a two-year renovation.
Organizers say Lightfoot will be the final artist to perform in the building before it closes its doors next year for a revitalization project that’s scheduled to take until fall 2020.
The singer-songwriter, who was born in Orillia, will perform back-to-back performances on June 29 and June 30.
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday.
The 79-year-old Juno winner and Grammy nominee has performed over 166 times at Massey Hall — more than any other individual artist.
In a statement, Lightfoot called Massey Hall “hallowed grounds” that feel like “home.”
