As Toronto venues clear the dust and prepare for the return of indoor live music—September should be jammed!—outdoor spaces like CityView Drive-In are still going strong. This lakefront venue hosts Ontario rockers Tokyo Police Club and Born Ruffians two nights in a row, promising high energy even from your car. Tokyo Police Club celebrate the tenth anniversary of their album Champ, and Born Ruffians finally get to share their 2021 album Pulp with a live audience. Other CityView shows include Classic Albums Live performing Led Zeppelin II (Sat., Aug. 14) and Skratch Bastid and Friends, with k-os, Haviah Mighty and others (Fri., Aug. 27).

Watch Born Ruffians live at Massey Hall
