Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday & Foxing
August 24, 2025
Budweiser Stage, Toronto, ON
From the moment Foxing took the stage, their dynamic, emotive soundscapes were the perfect opener for an unforgettable night at Budweiser Stage. Blending lush instrumentation with earnest delivery, their music filled the open-air amphitheater, setting a high bar for the evening.
Next up, Taking Back Sunday erupted onto the stage with the energy and passion that cemented their status as emo royalty. Adam Lazzara’s iconic mic-swinging and the band’s signature dual-vocal attack had the crowd screaming every word back to them, turning the venue into a powerful sing-along.
But it was Coheed and Cambria who truly delivered a masterclass in progressive showmanship. Known for their conceptual rock, their albums follow an elaborate sci-fi storyline called The Amory Wars, and the band masterfully weaves complex, dynamic music with this sprawling narrative. The band’s stage presence was captivating, their musicianship was flawless, and the light show and set design was a spectacle in itself. The synergy between the three bands created a night of pure rock spectacle.
