Overview
This summer, Toronto’s music scene is getting a major addition.
On August 22, HUGEL is bringing Make The Girls Dance to RBC Amphitheatre in partnership with Live Nation Canada and Solonda. Known for his infectious blend of Latin house, global rhythms, and high-energy sets, HUGEL has become one of the most recognizable names in modern dance music—and now Toronto gets to experience it live!
For fans of house music, summer nightlife, and open-air energy, this is shaping up to be one of the city’s standout music events of the season.
Who Is HUGEL?

Over the past few years, HUGEL has built a global reputation for creating dance music that feels energetic, rhythmic, and deeply connected to culture.
His sound blends house music with Latin influences, Afro-inspired percussion, and melodic grooves that instantly connect with crowds. Unlike traditional EDM-focused artists, HUGEL’s sets are driven by rhythm and atmosphere—making them feel immersive from start to finish.
Tracks like Morenita, Patadas de Ahogado, and his viral remixes have helped introduce a wider audience to the growing movement around Latin house and global electronic sounds.
Today, he regularly headlines clubs and festivals around the world, drawing crowds that are looking for more than just loud drops—they’re looking for energy, movement, and connection.
Why Toronto Is the Perfect City for This Event
There are few cities better suited for this kind of experience than Toronto.
Toronto’s nightlife scene continues to evolve, with audiences becoming more open to global sounds and curated music experiences. Latin house, Afro house, and groove-driven electronic music have all seen major growth in recent years, especially among crowds looking for something more immersive than the traditional club format.
That’s what makes Make The Girls Dance feel like such a natural fit.
The city’s diversity, energy, and love for music-driven nightlife create the perfect environment for an event centered around rhythm, atmosphere, and movement.
The Rise of Global House Music
Dance music is changing.
While mainstream EDM once dominated festivals and nightlife spaces, audiences are now gravitating toward sounds that feel more organic and culturally rooted. Genres like Latin house and Afro house are becoming increasingly popular because they create a different kind of experience—less focused on spectacle, more focused on groove and connection.
HUGEL has been one of the artists helping lead that shift.
His music blends international influences in a way that feels both accessible and authentic, helping introduce global house sounds to larger audiences around the world.
Events like this also reflect a broader movement happening across nightlife culture: people are becoming more intentional about where they go, who they listen to, and the kind of energy they want to be around.
What to Expect at Make The Girls Dance
Set against the backdrop of summer in Toronto, Make The Girls Dance is designed to be more than just a concert.
The event will take place at RBC Amphitheatre on August 22, with doors opening at 6 PM. As the evening progresses, attendees can expect a full-scale outdoor music experience shaped by sunset energy, large crowds, and HUGEL’s signature sound.
With a venue capacity of over 16,000 people, this is expected to be one of the bigger dance music events in Toronto this summer.
Whether you’re already familiar with HUGEL or just discovering the world of Latin house and global electronic music, the atmosphere alone promises something memorable.
