Alkaline To Bring New Rules Festival To Toronto, Canada

Dancehall star Alkaline has announced that his New Rules Festival will head to Toronto, Canada, on June 21, 2025. The event will take place at the Rebel Night Club, marking the festival’s expansion into a new city as part of its 2025 multi-city journey.

The announcement follows the earlier reveal of the festival’s UK debut, scheduled for April 17, 2025, in London at the 12,500 capacity OVO Arena Wembley.

The capacity of the Rebel Night Club is approximately 4,000 people, which, according to the venue, is almost four times the typical club in Toronto.

“Alkaline’s brand and the unprecedented demand for the New Rules Festival are undeniable,” said Kereena Beckford, Alkaline’s sister and manager. “As we diligently analyze our global fan base, which is experiencing exponential growth, we discern a clear yearning for culturally resonant and wholesome entertainment experiences. New Rules Festival embodies precisely this essence.”

Tickets for the Toronto staging of New Rules Festival are available at TicketGateway. Fans in the UK can secure their spots for the London event via Live Nation.

Since its return to Kingston, Jamaica, in 2022, the New Rules Festival has also captivated audiences in Miami and New York.

“The resounding success of New Rules in Miami, New York, and Kingston, Jamaica, following the pandemic underscores the undeniable appeal of the brand-New Rules Festival, the ardent Vendetta Fans, and Alkaline’s distinctive artistic expression,” said Rickardo Shuzzr, a spokesperson for the event.

“New Rules 2025 edition promises to be an unforgettable and exhilarating experience for all attendees.”

In addition to the festival news, Alkaline released a new single, Earn Your Way, on Friday (January 10). Produced by Autobamb and Sponge Music, the track “delves into the artist’s perspective on working towards wealth, success, and pursuing financial freedom in a highly competitive entertainment sector.”

“The single perfectly blends Alkaline’s signature sound and a fresh, innovative approach, making it a must-listen for all music enthusiasts,” the release added.
