Official tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/10005F88AD9A1ABD

[proven lance]

Does anyone know the presale code?

[brazen oak]

ECDIS2024, there was a spelling mistake!

[proven lance]

I got it. A friend sent it to me. I’m so excited!!!!

[fervent cave]

Cya there!

[urban cloud]

This will be my first show seeing EC! I'm STOKED!

[wild cairn]

Also my first time! I cant wait. See you guys all in Toronto!

[tough relic]

They killed last time they were in Toronto! Can’t wait to see them crush it again such a fun show and awesome party vibes.

[hazy moat]

Hey everyone! Coming up from New York to see them kill it! Looking forward to everything :)

[fervent cave]

Coming up from NJ then taking the train the next day to Montreal!

[tough relic]

That’s a epic trip!

[fervent cave]

Anyone else taking the Tekkno Train from Toronto to Montreal?

[wild cairn]

So who's all dressing up for TO? I know I'm gonna get silly with it

[fervent cave]

Too far ahead to plan my outfit, let alone 5 🤣

But I am trying to plan my travel. Can’t decide on the 8:30 getting to Montreal @ 13:44 or the 11:30 that gets there @ 17:01

Guess I gotta go early in case there are issues

[urban cloud]

I'm already planning my outfit 🤪 Where do you shop for your non-EC merch like pants and shoes?

[wild cairn]

I'll probably check out value village or amazon

[fervent cave]

If anyone is going to both Toronto + Montreal and taking the Tekkno Train I am in car 5 🙂

[urban cloud]

Has anyone ever gone to an event held at Rebel before? Their website says fanny packs, satchels, and from what I interpret, pretty much bags or purses of any kind are prohibited. Where do you put your stuff?

And by stuff I just mean little things like ChapStick, or some body wipes, maybe a mini perfume spray or something, 'cause, ya know, shaky shaky sweaty sweaty...

[paper prawn]

The info on the website most likely is related to their club type of events and parties and not concerts.

[hasty tusk]

I was there for MIW and no bags were allowed inside or at least I didn't see anyone with a bag and heard security saying something about bags before getting in

[rustic prawn]

i was wondering if anybody here would be willing to meet at the concert and like hangout or something
I'm going with my brother but he has his friend and wife with him and wants to stay with them near the back or the side of the crowd
and I typically stay as close to the front as I can so I'll end up being alone for probably most of the concert
I'm 17 just for like context
I can usually make friends in the crowd at concerts I go to I just wanted to try to find some people beforehand.

[quick plover]

😄 The trip is officially booked! 😄 Time for adventures!

[quick plover]

I emailed Rebel, and purses and bags will be allowed. Bigger bags, like backpacks, they will encourage people to check at the "coat check". :3

[urban cloud]

Nice work!

[fervent cave]

Thanks for checking!

[hot iris]

I'm in Niagara and looking for a ride to the show, do you have room for someone?!

Is anyone passing through the Niagara region? I need a ride, or more importantly home I guess lol

[twin citrus]

Hi everyone, just got into EC less than a year ago and I freaking love the metal party vibes! Does anyone if there's a set list for their shows yet?

[hazy moat]

If I wasn't staying over in Toronto for the night, I'd offer you one. But going to be there with my friend for an extra day. Sorry

[hot iris]

@hazy moat Thanks anyways

[craggy aspen]

Does anyone know what time their show will likely end at? Last GO train out of town is at 11:20pm just wondering if I'd have enough time to catch it.

[paper prawn]

This is from NY but the same setlist as before. Spoiler: setlist

[urban cloud]

Iirc the Maryland show ended about 11pm. Maybe shortly before.

[wild cairn]

So we dressing up Toronto ppl?

[graceful ridge]

Has anyone's ticket master app updated the tickets for the barcode yet? Mine just have a ticket details button.

[fervent cave]

Check back in 5 hours and 9 minutes

[graceful ridge]

Weird mine doesn't have a timer. Okay 👍 thank you

[fervent cave]

Not sure if that is because I am in the states and you are in Canada 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fervent cave]

Check now @graceful ridge Mine are available

[graceful ridge]

Yes there now. Thanks 👍

[urban cloud]

I don't see any options for a fast pass skip the line thing at Rebel. What time are y'all getting there to get in line? I may have convinced the hubs to try for front row.

[wild cairn]

I've also been informed that pick pockets frequent the club so try not to print anything if you don't have to. And zipper pockets or something are smart too

[fervent cave]

Assuming my flight is on time and I am able to check in to my air b and b a little early I will be wandering around the venue by 3 or 4

[wild cairn]

Ya I'm gonna be there early. I got a hotel room just down the street

[fervent cave]

Not a rail guy so not worried about a spot per se

[wild cairn]

Hope to see some Niagara peeps! And everyone better be dressed up. I sure as shit will be

[verbal quest]

I’m sorry man, I can’t just get people “good vantage points” at shows. We have a ton of media and press at these shows that go through management and PR, and while I’m able to do stuff every now and then, if I do it for one person, everyone is gonna start expecting me to do it for everyone. Your best bet is to get to shows early and find a good spot.

[urban cloud]

Ok great! I figured that time would probably be good as well.

[rustic prawn]

yess

[wild cairn]

Love to hear it

[rustic prawn]

hopefully dying my hair rainbow today for it and have a whole outfit ready!
coming from st catharines so also in the niagara region

[wild cairn]

Ehhh also st catharines!

[rustic prawn]

awesome! wasnt sure if many other ppl in the area would be going too

[wild cairn]

I don't think anyone I actually know is going besides myself and my gf so it's nice to know people here have good taste

[rustic prawn]

yeah me and my brother are going w 2 other ppl
surprisingly quite a lot of ppl here do have good taste. where i work im allowed to play the music i like so i play pretty much only metalcore and get tons of ppl complimenting what im listening to and discussing the bands we like lol

[wild cairn]

Oh hell ya haha

And then I have no man's land Saturday and Sunday so this weekend is gonna be awesome

[rustic prawn]

nice!! im seeing the amity affliction on the 21st and then erra on the 29th

[wild cairn]

Siiiick. My next concerts after this week are alexisonfire / city and colour/ the used/ metric at Montebello which I'm excited for too

[rustic prawn]

yeah its a pretty stacked month for me
tons of exciting shit
i was gonna go to that one too but didnt have the money for it
saw alexisonfire at the first born and raised tho!

[wild cairn]

Same! I'm an old man so I've been seeing them since they were still playing in the basements of bars 😂

[rustic prawn]

lmao thats awesome! im pretty sure my dads boss used to live on the same street as dallas green so he discovered them really early on too

[wild cairn]

Ya he knew my brother back in the day so he would always say hey to me at shows. Or if I saw him when he still worked at West 49

[rustic prawn]

thats so sick

[graceful ridge]

This is more in reference to when Rebel is just a normal dance club not a concert. That said, always good to take precautions.

Looks like we have about a 50 minute walk. 10 minute drive from the hotel, not much around the actual venue looks like.

[wild cairn]

Supposed to be raining too so prepare for that!

[fervent cave]

Yuck

[wild cairn]

Calling for potential thunderstorms too which suuucks. Buy some disposable ponchos or something!

[fervent cave]

Thanks for the heads up. Hadn’t checked the weather yet

[urban cloud]

I tried to scope out the walk from the garages by the distillery district, and it looks pretty terrible.

I still don't know how to navigate getting to the venue yet.

[wild cairn]

I haven't figured out mine either even tho my hotel is close by

[graceful ridge]

If the rain holds off we probably just walk down and taxi back after.

[fervent cave]

Looks like it is Lyft for me

[mossy shoal]

Our flight gets in tomorrow, super excited to costume up and rock out with you all!

[quick plover]

I don't have a costume, but i do have a 'fit for the occasion. 🙂

[mossy shoal]

Hell yeah! Can't wait to see the 'fits and feel the vibe!

[urban cloud]

I'll be wearing the same thing I posted from the Maryland show in #fashion. So if you see me, come say hi!

[worldly wadi]

I got a ticket for just me to go (mezzanine level - I'm too old for the pit, lol) and am getting really anxious about getting there. Parking mostly since I really don't want to walk very far alone, but I have also heard that parking lot across from the venue is a nightmare to get out of.

[quick plover]

i'm taking a taxi (ye olde fashioned ones, not ride service).

[fervent cave]

Pardon the ignorant American question, but can I use my Lyft app up there?

[quick plover]

yeah, Lyft will work. 🙂 they expanded to the big cities up here.

[fervent cave]

Ty

[quick plover]

I just checked the weather, and there is a system moving into the area, with possible rain, and/or thunderstorms. So... be prepared.

oh firday

friday

[fervent cave]

😭

[quick plover]

i hope it's not too bad, if it does. But i'll be bringing an umbrella :3

[urban cloud]

Packed ponchos

[wild cairn]

Going to grab ponchos today haha

[worldly wadi]

What time is everyone planning to get there? I'm driving myself, planning to park in the lot next to the venue, but was going to get there between 3 and 4

[wild cairn]

I'll be there around then as well. I wanna go super early

[wild cairn]

Also I've heard rumblings that parliament street is closed right there but I'm gonna get confirmation if you can still walk it

Pedestrian traffic is open!

[bitter nymph]

Hey everyone,
Unfortunately I can’t make tomorrow’s show, I have a ticket up for grabs. Asking 50 bucks for it. Send me a DM if anyone wants it.

[urban cloud]

Between 3 and 4 is also my goal arrival time.

[twin citrus]

Glad I'm following this channel! I'll def be packing a poncho.

What are some good parking options? Someone said they heard parking near the venue is a nightmare to get out of. I was thinking of parking elsewhere, probably green p lot, and then getting a ride service in there.

What's a good place to park and walk to avoid heavy traffic and not have to walk a ton?

[worldly wadi]

One of my coworkers has been to the Rebel for concerts before and she told me that the parking lot across from the venue is convenient, but it definitely takes a long time to get out after a show.

There are lots of parking lots in the Distillery District, which is like a 30 min walk, but lots of options!

I plan to use the lot near the venue and just put my patient pants on when it's time to leave, lol

[twin citrus]

Cool, does it fill up fast? I could def put on a podcast and wait it out lol

[quick plover]

Anyone wanna hang out with me near the bus after for a chance to maybe meet them?

[worldly wadi]

I might! Going to be waiting for cars to leave anyway! 😅

[worldly wadi]

I'm not sure, but I plan to get there early (before 4 pm) just in case. But I'm commuting in from outside Toronto, and Friday afternoon traffic in Toronto is atrocious

[wild cairn]

Imma be there right after I check in the hotel. So around 330ish. I'm gonna standout so you'll know its me haha

[fervent cave]

If you see an old man with a green beard wandering around, don’t be frightened.

[quick plover]

I'm gonna be checking in tonight. I'm also gonna be staying an extra day to check out Toronto a bit, since I've never visited before.

I'm probably going to have some food around 2, then get there around 3pm

[hazy moat]

Same for my group. Check in to the hotel and eat before. Excited to see all of you!

[urban cloud]

I will if I can convince my hubby to wait as well!

[fervent cave]

I plan on doing that too

[timber merlin]

Haha same! I'm going solo up in the mezz. I wanted something to lean on, and to sit on, other than the floor. Hopefully I'll be able to see more clearly up there, too! I work just north of Toronto until 4 pm. My plan is to grab dinner after work, drive down and park outside rebel. Getting there and home (Barrie) might be hell, but it'll be worth it to see these guys for the first time.

[fervent cave]

Add one more for the mezz 🤣

[worldly wadi]

Mezz buddies!

[upper marsh]

Anyone got set times for tonight? Was at the danforth show last year and excited to see them again tonight!

[timber merlin]

Me at the show playing Marco Polo "Greenbeard!... Anonymoose!..." 😆

[fervent cave]

Haha

[timber merlin]

People looking at me like wtf? Lol

[worldly wadi]

Lol, getting excited 🙂

[graceful ridge]

Mezz as well anyone been up there before for a show ?

[fervent cave]

Only venue in Toronto I have been to is the phoenix

[graceful ridge]

I've only been there when it was called the docks / sound academy.

[urban cloud]

Our host is on board for waiting near the bus, so we're in!

[quick plover]

I'm on the floor. Slightly regretting not getting Mezz, but I'm sure I'll be fine lol

[timber merlin]

This place is a big step up from the Phoenix imo. Only real problem is the location. Nice view of the skyline though!

[timber merlin]

Same. And I've never been up in the mezz. It's been many years since I've been to any show. Trying to think of the last show I went to...

[timber merlin]

😯 it was Black Sabbath back in Aug 2016! Shortly before that it was Slipknot in Jul '16. Where has the time gone? 🥲
What about you guys? Last show you went to?

[wild cairn]

I went to Tegan and Sara last month which was fantastic. Which happened to be down the street from my house too

[worldly wadi]

Last show I saw was Halestorm back in 2019. 🙂

[fervent cave]

Electric Callboy in NYC last Monday and Silver Spring on Sunday 🙂

Before that was Cypress Hill on 4/20, The Dandy Warhol 3x in March and Oliver Tree in January

[graceful ridge]

Saw thy art is murder in London not too long ago, but prior to that it's been many years

[fallen mountain]

We'll follow you x) the busses are pretty hidden so not sure how it's gonna go but it will be less awkward if there's a little bunch of us ;^^

[fervent cave]

Usually they park around back

[fallen mountain]

It looks very far away behind all the buildings we didn't want to go all the way there to check if they were x)

[worldly wadi]

On my way down now, you won't miss me in my neon 😆

[timber merlin]

Ready to flyyyy!
We were nothing but close to the sky!

[fervent cave]

I just landed

[fervent cave]

Yucky rain

[urban cloud]

Weather is trash.

[hazy moat]

Thankfully it's a covered queue area

[fervent cave]

That was gonna be my next question

Are there places to eat down there?

Looks bbq it is!

[graceful ridge]

I don't think there is anything walking close to the actual venue

[urban cloud]

One Italian restaurant on Cherry Street and a few in the distillery district

[timber merlin]

I think that's the only two options without walking north of lakeshore.

[pallid pumice]

I’ll make sure to look for you to give you a bracelet !

And anyone who wants one of course

[fervent cave]

I am waiting on my Lyft to the bbq

[graceful ridge]

Just checking in to the hotel

Probably grab Tim's or something before taxing over

[fallen mountain]

A few people (us included) got ubereats deliver some food, that's always a good option

We have a few bracelets left I'd love to give them to peeps from the discord, come say hi 🙂 we're near the beginning of the line (there's like 4 ppl in front of us) 😇

[fervent cave]

I will be there after I eat

At the BBQ joint now

[graceful ridge]

Uber eats delivered to the queue ?

[fervent cave]

That is brilliant

[quick plover]

I'll be arriving around 4:10 or 4:15 lol

[fervent cave]

Nico and Daniel B and some of the crew just showed up at the BBQ joint

[quick plover]

Ooo

Wait, B?

Dan H (glasses) Dan K (brown hair)

[fervent cave]

H sorry

[quick plover]

OK, maybe 4:30... traffic be trafficing

Wait, no.. some how he cut the ride down and will be there even sooner. Magic

Eee.

[upper mist]

We're ready, tiny hands and all

[fallen mountain]

Nice! We saw some of the guys getting takeout, there's nothing around here x_x

[worldly wadi]

So much traffic. I just got here!

[fervent cave]

They are walking back now. I am waiting for my Lyft. Don’t want to walk in the rain

[quick plover]

I think I see you.

[graceful ridge]

Traffic wild

[wild cairn]

How bad is the line rn?

Traffic sucked so I'm late lol gonna head over to the venue soon

[worldly wadi]

Not too bad yet!

[wild cairn]

Sweet! See y'all soon then

[fervent cave]

Starting to fill in

[mossy shoal]

Anyone know if you can order drinks if you're on the floor? Know it mentioned all ages. Is there a bar we can access off the floor before the set?

[quick plover]

There are bars on either side of the floor

[mossy shoal]

Amazing thank you!

[wild cairn]

Hey there's me

[fervent cave]

And me

[quick plover]

Hehe. I have a couple more pics, and some clips. I'll share them when I get home, and on my pc. Nothing near as good as what Peter got, but still fun.

[fervent cave]

It was so nice to meet you all!!!

Sorry I didn’t get to meet everyone!

[quick plover]

Oh, and someone gave me a hand : 3

[fervent cave]

Not my first trip to Toronto for a concert and won’t be my last!

Uploading to YouTube now. Should be ready in a few hours depending on the WiFi in my air b b

[fallen mountain]

We tried sneaking at the back to try to catch a glimpse of the busses but we got caught by security 😂 there was no way we'd see them tonight 🥲 anybody had better luck? I guess it just means we'll get to bed sooner than expected, considering we're heading back to Montreal tomorrow, it's not so bad 😅

[quick plover]

Right beside the speakers. Great vantage point, but hard to make put the vocals lol

But I'm gonna go stand in the shower for a bit, then go to bed. ❤️

[fervent cave]

Riding the Tekkno Train to Montreal?

[fallen mountain]

Yes we are! Not the same as yours though!

[urban cloud]

We were told we found the area where the buses pick up the band, but the public isn't allowed back there for "safety reasons."

[fallen mountain]

That makes sense. Oh well ;^^ that venue was not made for us to cross paths with them, it happens!

[hazy moat]

Thanks everyone for the best night!

[fervent cave]

Well crap internet here so will have to upload when I get home

[rustic prawn]

show was insane last night
I fell multiple times crowd surfing lol

had sm fun

[fervent cave]

I had so much fun watching the pit

[rustic prawn]

the whole crowd felt like a pit at one point lmaoo

they put on a great show
definitely the best and most intense crowd I've been in
