On July 19, 2025, PUP took the stage at Toronto’s HISTORY, playing to a completely sold out venue for the final stop of their Mega-City Madness tour around Toronto.
Lead singer, Stefan Babcock, started their set by saying that on each stop of the tour, they’ve focused on a single album, before announcing that for this show, they were playing “all the hits.” This was met with uncontrollable applause that followed through the complete duration of the show.
I spoke to a few fans at the barricade that told me they were lining up for more than five hours for the show, excited to see what PUP would bring, and their excitement was met with a show of a lifetime. The band played more than 20 of their biggest hits, leaving no room for even a moment lacking enjoyment.
With crowd surfing, jumping, headbanging, and everyone chanting along, PUP’s night at HISTORY will last in the minds of everyone present. Keep up with PUP on their website and Instagram.
