Another night of Heavy Metal descended on Toronto as **Corrosion of Conformity**, **Judas Priest**, and **Alice Cooper** took over the Budweiser Stage for an unforgettable evening of riffs, theatrics, and pure metal power.

The night kicked off with **Corrosion of Conformity**, who wasted no time setting the tone with their sludgy riffs and Southern-fried groove. Their raw energy and heavy sound had fists in the air early, proving once again why they remain a cornerstone of the metal world.

Next up was **Judas Priest**. Rob Halford’s iconic vocals pierced the night sky as the band unleashed hit after hit, from the anthemic “Breaking the Law” to the thunderous “Painkiller.” The dual guitar attack of Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap kept the solos flying, while Scott Travis and Ian Hill anchored the rhythm section with crushing precision. 

One of the night’s most powerful moments came during “Giants in the Sky”, a heartfelt tribute to late musicians. The band closed their set with “We’ll Be Back” flashing across the screen — a promise fans are already hoping they’ll keep.

Closing out the night was the one and only **Alice Cooper**, who transformed the Budweiser Stage into a twisted rock ’n’ roll theatre. With his trademark macabre props, guillotine, and sinister charisma, Cooper delivered a set that blended horror, humor, and hard rock perfection. Classics like “Poison” and “I’m Eighteen” had the crowd roaring, while theatrical centerpieces like “Feed My Frankenstein” and “Ballad of Dwight Fry” kept eyes glued to the stage.

The grand finale saw a local high school choir join Cooper for a powerful rendition of “School’s Out,” bringing the night to a triumphant close.
