Nav on Tour
Toronto MC Nav had just dropped his Top 10 debut album, Reckless, in May 2018, but in early 2019 he subverted expectations by announcing his retirement on Instagram. The surprise declaration was intended as a show of solidarity with his friend and collaborator Lil Uzi Vert, who'd announced his own defection from the music industry. Alas, the disappearing act lasted for all of two months — and it could have very well been a savvy marketing ploy to give Nav's recently released second album, Bad Habits, a boost. But if it was a trick, it worked. The star-studded record debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and featured guest spots from the likes of Gunna, Future, Meek Mill and early supporter The Weeknd. For a victory lap Nav hit the road in the spring, headlining theaters and superclubs across North America with fellow Toronto rapper Killy in tow.
Nav Background
The success of Drake and The Weeknd has transformed Toronto into an epicenter of moody hip-hop and arty R&B and few local artists have capitalized on this moment quite like Nav. Born Navraj Singh Goraya, the Punjabi-Canadian rapper was among the countless MCs uploading their tracks to SoundCloud in the mid-'10s — but he was one of the very few to receive a coveted co-sign from Drake himself (not to mention a buzz-generating Snapchat shout-out from Kylie Jenner). After being featured on Drake's OVO Sound radio show, Nav's 2015 debut single "Take Me Simple" would go on to rack up 15 million plays on SoundCloud. Nav subsequently signed on with The Weeknd's XO imprint, scored features with Travis Scott and dropped two mixtapes in 2017, all of which led to his winning the Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. But that was all a warm-up for his two official albums, the aforementioned Reckless and chart-topping Bad Habits, which highlight his chill delivery infused with equal doses of swagger and sensitivity.

Really enjoyed the concert. Travis Scott and Meek Mill were surprise guests. Disappointed that Bryson Tiller wasn’t able to make it.
The concert was one of the best I have been to, great crowd, stage set up and performance by all the artist. NAV brought out guests that everyone was excited about. Beyond the concert the venue was organized and well run even with the amount of people in attendance. Security before entrance was taken seriously and there was lots of help from staff regarding seats when others had chosen to sit in the wrong spots. 10/10 would go again.
Nav is one of the best performers in the game. With many hits performed and special guest appearances from different artists like Travis Scott, this was the best concert I’ve ever been to. 10/10
I love that man ! VIP was fun everything is at the finger tips server was nice ! Security was great
The entire existence was dope as hell! If I had ANYTHING negative to say its the simple fact that fans couldn't get sigitnures from NAV and my over all meet n greet just felt rushed. Compared to some people's meet n greets mine felt mediocre. Buhhhhh all n all the van Buren was koo for that being my first time in that venue. No hurt feelings from me.
The singer was fine but the crowd was so bad. I was getting squeezed so hard my right arm was sore for the next two days. While at the venue everyone was punching and pushing each other that it started to feel like a sauna and everyone was sweating
Nav pulled up in front of the line to say Wuts up then the show started from there on. It was great.
The event was so good had so much fun everything went smooth and fast starting with the line to ending everything moved fast and on time. Can’t wait for another nav concert!
Everything valid, shout-out to the security or Nav’s management team for giving out water to the crowd.
