Mod Club Theatre
The Mod Club Theatre (commonly called Mod Club) was a theatre in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its address was 722 College Street, which is in Little Italy. The venue hosted live performance concerts and DJ nights, featuring genres like rock, pop, electronic music, and hip hop. It also hosted the Weeknd's first-ever live performance in 2011. The venue announced their closure in November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The concert venue at that location reopened under the name of The Axis Club in late 2021. Overview. Mod Club Theatre had a capacity of about  600. Concert-goers could watch acts from the floor, the tables to the side of the room, or the second floor balcony. Additionally, two large video panels gave audience members views of the performers on stage. The club's relatively small size contributed to the intimacy and clear sound quality of live shows. Some of the walls featured murals of images related to the 1960s mod subculture. History. Mod Club began as a weekly Wednesday club night at the Lava Lounge in 1999. It expanded to two nights a week, at the Lava Lounge and The Revival. After one performance  when The Revival was slapped with an over-capacity charge, a more permanent location was sought out, and 722 College Street was acquired. On November 6, 2020, the Mod Club Theatre announced it would be permanently closing.
