In the fall of 2015, Québec City’s old Colisée de Québec was replaced by a brand new multipurpose stadium. In the year since, the Videotron stage has been graced by the likes of Metallica, Madonna, Cirque du Soleil, Muse, Céline Dion and Pearl Jam. Hockey fans, in the meantime, have been treated to local team Les Remparts’ regular season games as well as special NHL matches.
