This popular music venue started out as an ice skating rink in 1884. Since then, it has been burned down twice, changed its style seven times (including being at a porn theatre in the 60s), until its final renovation as a live theatre. These days, the stage is regularly used for the site of the popular TV show La fureur, and housed legendary stars the likes of David Bowie, The White Stripes, and Coldplay. Popular Quebecois artist Jean Leloup holds the record for the most performances.
