Scotiabank Arena Icons
Scotiabank Arena ICONS, honours performers who have helped establish the venue as a global entertainment destination through artist recognition.
To publicly recognize these iconic artists and to share this celebration with fans, a permanent Scotiabank Arena ICONS fixture has been installed in the Galleria showcasing and honouring the names of those inducted.
A key element of Scotiabank Arena ICONS is honouring the artist through an induction into the program. Evaluated by an entertainment industry consortium, iconic performers are inducted based on their outstanding achievement and ongoing contribution to Scotiabank Arena and Toronto as a global leader in live entertainment
