Toronto's Mod Club Is Apparently Reopening as the Axis Club Published Apr 16, 2021 Back in November, Toronto concertgoers' hearts collectively broke after the announcement that the city's Mod Club Theatre would be shutting down for good. Now it appears the club will be reopening — but under a new name. Earlier this week, Arlo Parks mapped out a North American tour that includes a stop at the former College Street venue in September, in an announcement that has befuddled local music fans and industry workers alike. Closer inspection of the show's ticket listings reveals a statement that appears to signal the venue has been taken over by a new group who have renamed the spot the Axis Club.
