In Canada: BTS’ J-Hope & RM Attend Drake’s Toronto Concert; Neil Peart Doc Premiering at TIFF
Also up north this week: Music streaming growth slows in Quebec.
BTS members J-Hope and RM attended a concert featuring Chris Brown and Usher in Toronto on Wednesday (Aug. 12). The K-pop group were present for the final night of the R&B Tour, where they enjoyed performances of hit songs including "Yeah" and "Look At Me Now." After the show, J-Hope shared a video of the pair lip-syncing to "Look At Me Now" on social media.
However, fans have criticized the band members for attending the concert, particularly given Chris Brown's history of legal issues. BTS is set to return to Canada for the first time in nearly a decade, performing two nights at Rogers Stadium on Aug. 22-23. Meanwhile, the Toronto International Film Festival will premiere a documentary on Neil Peart of Rush in 2026.
