Dancehall icon Mavado is set to touch down in Canada for his first live performance in Toronto in nearly a decade.

Officially titled "Mavado & Friends: The Return of the Gully Gad," the high-profile arena concert will take place on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at the iconic Scotiabank Arena.

Mavado joins a selective group of dancehall elite to headline the nearly 20,000-capacity venue, following in the footsteps of previous sell-out arena runs by Buju Banton and Vybz Kartel.

With the hashtag #ScorpionParadise2026 driving excitement across social media, fans across the Canadian diaspora are anticipating special guest appearances from top regional and international acts under the "Mavado & Friends" billing.
