Ella Mai: Do You Still Love Me? Tour

A Masterclass in Modern R&B

It feels like just yesterday that Ella Mai’s "Boo'd Up" became the inescapable, infectious anthem of the summer, but the British singer-songwriter has long since proven she is far more than a one-hit wonder. With a Grammy under her belt and a discography that masterfully navigates the complexities of modern love, her 'Do You Still Love Me?' tour arrives in Toronto as a testament to her staying power. Mai’s live performances are a masterclass in vocal control; she possesses that rare ability to make a cavernous arena feel like a late-night jazz club, drawing the audience into her world of heartbreak, healing, and unapologetic romance.

Fans can expect a setlist that bridges the gap between her breakout EPs and the polished, mature sound of her more recent studio albums. Whether she’s leaning into the 90s-inspired R&B nostalgia that defined her early career or showcasing the sophisticated production of her latest work, Mai’s stage presence is grounded and authentic. She doesn't rely on pyrotechnics or over-the-top spectacle; instead, she lets her voice—a rich, textured instrument—do the heavy lifting. If you’ve been waiting to hear "Trip" or "Not Another Love Song" live, this is the night to do it.

The Vibe at Coca-Cola Coliseum

Choosing the Coca-Cola Coliseum for this stop is a smart move. Located at Exhibition Place, the venue strikes a perfect balance between the massive scale of a stadium and the focused intensity of a theatre. Originally known as the Coliseum and built in 1921, the space has undergone significant renovations to become a premier concert destination. Its Art Deco bones give it a classic Toronto feel, while the acoustics are surprisingly crisp for a venue of its size. You won't be squinting at a distant speck on a stage here; the sightlines are excellent, ensuring that even if you’re in the upper tiers, you’ll feel connected to the performance.

Making a Night of It

Since you’re heading to Exhibition Place, you are perfectly positioned to explore the best of the waterfront and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Before the show, head over to Liberty Village. It’s a short walk or a quick streetcar ride away and is packed with spots to grab a pre-show bite. If you’re looking for a casual vibe, check out the local breweries or grab some elevated pub fare. For something a bit more refined, the area has seen a surge in trendy eateries that are perfect for a pre-concert cocktail.

If you have time earlier in the day, take a stroll along the Martin Goodman Trail. There is nothing quite like a July evening by Lake Ontario to get you in the right headspace for a night of soulful R&B. The area is bustling, vibrant, and quintessentially Toronto, making it the perfect backdrop for a summer concert.

Getting There & Good to Know

Getting to the Coca-Cola Coliseum is straightforward, but don't leave it until the last minute. If you’re taking the TTC, the 509 Harbourfront or 511 Bathurst streetcars will drop you right at the Exhibition loop. If you’re coming from outside the city, the GO Train stops at Exhibition Station, which is essentially on the doorstep of the venue—a massive convenience that beats fighting for parking any day.

Pro tip: The Coliseum can get a bit chilly once the sun goes down and the AC kicks in, so bring a light layer. Also, keep an eye on the official event page for any potential VIP packages or merchandise drops; Ella Mai’s tour merch has been known to be as stylish as her music, and it usually sells out before the encore. Secure your tickets early, as this is one of those shows that tends to draw a dedicated crowd that knows exactly what they’re in for.
