In 2025, Ottawa will welcome a new and state-of-the-art venue. Developed by Live Nation Canada, the country’s leading entertainment provider, the venue is slated to open in 2025. This exciting new addition will transform the former downtown Chapters bookstore into a premier destination for live events, significantly enhancing Ottawa’s event hosting capabilities.
Located in the heart of downtown Ottawa at 47 Rideau Street, the new 2,500 capacity venue promises an intimate yet dynamic setting for diverse gatherings from corporate events and conferences to concerts and comedy shows.
“Owing to its vibrant urban setting and size, the venue is likely to become a sought-after location for events of all kinds – from those in the corporate and association worlds to the entertainment and arts sector”, says Lesley Pincombe, Ottawa Tourism’s Vice President, Business and Major Events. “With the opening of this new venue, Ottawa’s event infrastructure will take another significant step forward as it attracts top-tier talent and provides significant opportunities for organisations to host impactful and memorable gatherings."
The new Live Nation venue will feature cutting-edge sound and lighting systems, ensuring an unparalleled auditory and visual experience, as well as a variety of amenities, including multiple bars and flexible seating arrangements.
Strategically located near Ottawa's major transportation hubs, the venue will be easily accessible by public transit and offers ample parking options, ensuring convenience for attendees traveling from near and far. Its central location places it within walking distance of numerous hotels, restaurants, and attractions, making it an ideal spot for event attendees to explore the city.
“The Live Nation venue will transform Ottawa’s downtown scene and cement the city as a go-to destination. It’s going to generate a lot of excitement in the capital from residents and visitors alike as it boosts the local economy and enhances the local area,” concludes Pincombe.
