HECFI - Hamilton's Best in Entertainment

Copps Coliseum is one of North America’s premier entertainment venues, housing a variety of spectacular concert and sporting events each year. The arena serves as home to AHL team The Hamilton Bulldogs and has been the site of many great moments in hockey, having hosted the World Junior Hockey Championships, the Canada Cup and the Memorial Cup. Other sporting events held at Copps Coliseum have included the FIBA World Basketball Championship, the Legends of Tennis Classic, and a number of men’s and women’s curling tournaments. Sports entertainment organizations such as the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and the Harlem Globetrotters have also held events at Copps, which is conveniently located near Hamilton Place and The Hamilton Convention Centre in the city’s cultural core.

With its large capacity and impressive acoustics, Copps Coliseum has become southern Ontario’s go-to venue for live shows across all genres of music. The venue has played host to an amazing and diverse group of local and international artists, including U2, Aerosmith, Rush, Bruce Springsteen, Britney Spears, and Elton John. Country acts Tim McGraw, Reba McIntyre and Carrie Underwood have also performed at Copps Coliseum, and the Juno Awards have been held at the venue numerous times.
