Massey Hall Reviews
Rated out of 5
I had the best experience at Massey Hall, The sound quality was phenomenal—crisp, clear, and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re in the front row or the back, the acoustics make you feel like you’re right next to the stage. The bass was punchy without being overwhelming, and the vocals came through perfectly. It’s obvious they invested in top-notch equipment, which really enhances the
entire concert experience.
Can’t wait to come back for another show!

Nice vibe. Great lighting. Clean environment. Really loved the historic feel to it. Went here for a Rex Orange County concert and had seats in section 305 row B seats 9-10. Had a great view from my seat and lots of fun.

My first visit since the renovations that took two years. It's much improved. Bar and washroom on each floor. Padded seats and the ceiling has beautiful scallops and stained glass. Best of all we thought the acoustics which were always great had improved ❗

The newly renovated Massey Hall, great concert venue with new state-of-the-art acoustic, the seats have been upgraded with ample leg room and cushioned, beautiful new lounge with concession stands for refreshments, new washroom facilities, plus displays of the history of Massey Hall.
