Led Zeppelin fans, mark Friday November 4th down on your calendar as the Linsmore Tavern (1298 Danforth Ave), is excited to welcome for the very first time Red Zeppelin and their tribute to Led Zeppelin! It’s been a long time since the Linsmore has had a Zeppelin Tribute, so there is a ton of anticipation for this show! We have heard so many great things about Red Zeppelin and have had many requests to bring them in, so it’s great to finally get to experience their incredible show! Get your tickets now, as they will go fast! Tickets for the show are $10 in advance, $15 at the door!

Dancing days are, indeed, here again. Experience the power and fury of a Led Zeppelin live show through the artistry of Red Zeppelin as they shine a light on classic hits. For years, Red Zeppelin have swung the hammer of the gods, wowing crowds across Ontario by selling out the likes of the Great Hall, the Mod Club, and Q107’s Canada Day festival. Featuring fiery vocals from Joan Smith (Serena Ryder, Little Foot Long Foot, Joan Smith & the Jane Does), Red Zeppelin delivers an electrifying experience. While the look may be a little different, the swagger and the song remains the same. 

The Linsmore Tavern (1298 Danforth Ave) is bringing in the ULTIMATE Cover Band for the very first time on Saturday October 22nd! Horshack the former house band at the Orbit Room will be rocking out on our stage and for any music fans out there, you have got to see this band! With an ALL-STAR line-up with some of our country’s best musicians, you are going to hear some very difficult covers that you don’t usually hear from a cover band! Anyone in Toronto that has seen this band, raves about them and that’s why this is a MUST-SEE Saturday night at the Linsmore Tavern! The show starts at 9:30pm, tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door!

Horshack rose up out of the ashes of the extremely popular Sunday night Orbit Room phenomena, Stifler’s Mom.  The boys roll back the calender to the 70’s (mostly), and will absolutely go all out till late at the Linsmore.  Horshack covers some popular and at times very difficult material from Boston, Pink Floyd, and Led Zepplin to some classic rockers from Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Talking Heads, and Tom Petty.  It’s quite common for Canadian stars such as Ian Thornley, Gordie Johnson, and Ivana Santilli to show up and sit in with the guys.  Canadian guitar great and guitar player for Lady Gaga, Ricky Tillo, when not on the road will often sit in for a whole night.

There have been some amazing parties over the years at the Linsmore Tavern (1298 Danforth Ave), but nothing is going to compare to this one! Saturday October 29th, we are hosting an 80’s Halloween Party and we couldn’t think of a better band to host this night! Driven. A tribute to The Cars will kick off the night with a 90 minute set of 80’s icons The Cars! Following this set will be a 90 minute set from The 80-its that will take us deep into the night with danceable, fun songs from the 80’s!

Featuring Sports personality Barry Davis, Driven. A Tribute to The Cars and The 80-its played earlier this year at the Linsmore to a capacity crowd and it was such a fun night, that had everyone up and dancing all night! We have had a ton of requests to bring this band back and we couldn’t think of a band better suited to put on an 80’s Halloween Dance Party than these two bands!

Driven. A Tribute to The Cars brings to life the look and sound of the legendary Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame band through their monster hits such as, “Just What I Needed”, “Drive”, “Magic”, Shake It Up”, “My Best Friend’s Girl”, “Good Times Roll” and more!
