In 2025, Ottawa will welcome a new and state-of-the-art venue developed by Live Nation Canada. This new addition will transform the former downtown Chapters bookstore into a destination for live events, significantly enhancing Ottawa’s event hosting capabilities. Located in downtown Ottawa at 47 Rideau Street, the new venue can accommodate 2,500 people and will be an ideal setting for diverse gatherings from corporate events and conferences to concerts and comedy shows.
“Owing to its vibrant urban setting and size, the venue is likely to become a sought-after location for events of all kinds—from those in the corporate and association worlds to the entertainment and arts sector,” says Lesley Pincombe, Ottawa Tourism’s vice president, business and major events. “With the opening of this new venue, Ottawa’s event infrastructure will take another significant step forward as it attracts top-tier talent and provides significant opportunities for organizations to host impactful and memorable gatherings.”
The new Live Nation venue will offer cutting-edge sound and lighting systems, multiple bars, flexible seating arrangements and more. Located near Ottawa’s major transportation hubs, the venue will be easily accessible by public transit and offers ample parking options. Its central location places it within walking distance of numerous hotels, restaurants and attractions, making it an ideal venue for event attendees to explore the city.
“The Live Nation venue will transform Ottawa’s downtown scene and cement the city as a go-to destination. It’s going to generate a lot of excitement in the capital from residents and visitors alike as it boosts the local economy and enhances the local area,” concludes Pincombe.
