Hedspin & Don Paolo

As the work week winds down, the Ace Hotel lobby on Camden Street becomes the place to be for top-tier selector sets. On Thursday, August 27, 2026, acclaimed DJs Hedspin and Don Paolo take over the space from 8:00 PM to midnight, bringing their world-class talent and expertly curated beats to the Fashion District.

The Vibe and Venue Nestled in the heart of Old Toronto's vibrant fashion and design district, the Ace Hotel has quickly established itself as a cultural living room for the city. The lobby offers an intimate, stylishly industrial backdrop complete with comfortable seating, exceptional acoustics, and a crowd that appreciates great sound without the stuffiness of a traditional club. Grab a craft cocktail from the bar, find a cozy spot to settle in, and let the heavy basslines and smooth transitions wash over you as Thursday night transitions into the weekend.

Practical Details Admission is entirely free, making this one of the best mid-week music nights downtown. The music runs from 8 PM until midnight. Coming early is recommended to snag a prime seat near the action, though the lobby's open layout welcomes walk-ins throughout the night. TTC transit riders can easily access the venue via the King or Queen streetcars, stepping off just a short walk south on Camden Street.
