AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

World Cup Music in Canada: Toronto’s first men’s World Cup match on home soil ended 1-1 vs Bosnia, with Cyle Larin’s late equalizer sparking a stadium-wide roar and a starry pre-game ceremony featuring Canadian artists including Alanis Morissette. Ceremony Buzz: The Canada opener’s music moments also drew debate online, including backlash over Michael Bublé’s song choice during the show. Global Pop at the US Opener: In Los Angeles, Katy Perry, Future, Tyla, Anitta and BLACKPINK’s Lisa headlined the US opening ceremony, while Perry’s “Wonder” performance (with 10-year-old Tius Luka) became a viral talking point. Local Community Viewing: Fans packed Market Square viewing parties through the tournament, with supporters saying the event helps “stitch people together across cultures.” Theatre & Touring (Canada/UK): Waitress marks its 10th anniversary with Carrie Hope Fletcher leading a UK tour cast featuring Les Dennis. Live Music Dates: The Barra MacNeils launch a 40th anniversary tour with a Parksville stop June 19.
