Residents of Milton, Ontario, who have dreamed of performing live on the Mattamy Theatre stage can audition for Milton Sings on October 4, 2026. The event offers community members the chance to sing alongside a professional rock band as part of the annual competition run by Can You Sing Canada.
The FirstOntario Arts Centre Milton is hosting the auditions, which are now open to anyone who thinks they have what it takes to be a rockstar. Successful singers will earn a spot to perform live with a backing band made up of industry veterans who have shared stages with artists like Burton Cummings, Big Wreck, and Moist.
Milton Sings is part of Can You Sing Canada’s seventh year of touring showcases, which give amateur performers a rare chance to play a professional venue.
