Digable Planets

One of hip-hop's most distinctive and intellectually vibrant groups, Digable Planets, brings their genre-defining sound to Toronto's legendary Phoenix Concert Theatre on Friday, July 10, 2026. Known for weaving cool jazz samples with sharp political lyricism and Afrocentric philosophy, the trio of Butterfly, Ladybug Mecca, and Doodlebug crafted a sound in the early '90s that remains utterly timeless — and hearing it live is a rare, transcendent experience not to be missed. The Phoenix Concert Theatre is one of Toronto's most storied and intimate music venues, offering excellent sightlines and rich acoustics that will bring every layered beat and lyrical flow to life. Whether you're a lifelong fan who wore out your copy of 'Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)' or a newcomer discovering the group's brilliance for the first time, the atmosphere inside this iconic room promises to be electric and deeply soulful. This is a 19+ event, making for an adult crowd fully immersed in the music and the moment. Expect a setlist that journeys through the group's celebrated catalog, from the Grammy-winning 'Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)' to deeper cuts that showcase their unmatched artistic range. Arrive early, soak in the vibe, and prepare to be transported by one of hip-hop's most beautifully crafted sonic universes.
