#FIRSTLOOK: CANADA’S WALK OF FAME PRESENT “ROCK THE HALLS!”

Canada’s Walk of Fame is turning up the holiday cheer with the return of the 2nd annual Rock the Halls at Toronto’s legendary El Mocambo on Saturday, December 20, 2025. This one-night-only benefit includes exciting live performances and festive fun in support of Daily Bread Food Bank.

Headlining the night is global pop star Priyanka along with YASSiN & Sean Terrio, alumni of the Canada’s Walk of Fame RBC Emerging Musician Program, in collaboration with Stingray. They’ll be joined by additional Emerging Musician Program alumni, including: Annabel Oreste (2025 Grand Prize Winner), Jennarie (2025 2nd Prize Winner), and Maya Malkin (2020 alumna), celebrating the season with music, joy and community spirit.

Attendees can also enjoy a silent auction, holiday photo activation, and participate in an on-site food drive collecting non-perishable donations for Daily Bread Food Bank. All proceeds from ticket sales and the auction will go directly toward helping families in need this holiday season.

“The Emerging Musician Program has always been about more than performance; it’s about building community through music. Rock the Halls captures that spirit perfectly,” said Griffin Sokal, Director of Marketing at Canada’s Walk of Fame. “With the continued support of RBC and Stingray, and the commitment of program alumni YASSiN & Sean Terrio, we’ve turned what started as a small idea into something that makes a real difference for families across our city through Daily Bread Food Bank.”

Since 1983, Daily Bread Food Bank has been working to meet emergency food needs across Toronto while advocating for long-term solutions to end poverty. Operating through more than 200 programs and distributing food via a 108,000 sq ft distribution hub in Etobicoke, the organization embodies the idea that “food is a human right.”

Earlier this fall, members of the Rock the Halls lineup and the Canada’s Walk of Fame team volunteered at Daily Bread’s Etobicoke facility — preparing meals, learning about the organization’s impact, and seeing first-hand how community support transforms lives.

About Rock The Halls

Originally conceived by co-presenters YASSiN & Sean Terrio as a small independent holiday show, Rock the Halls has grown into a full-scale benefit concert — bringing artists, partners, and audiences together through music.

Presented by Canada’s Walk of Fame, RBC, and Stingray, with support from Live Nation Canada as Community Partner and Anthem Music Group as Supporting Partner, Rock the Halls 2025 continues to unite artists, audiences, and organizations in the spirit of generosity and music.
