Before Brandy took the stage, Tush, DJ Lissa Monet, and KAPRI performed, with KAPRI working with Kill Them With Colour, who produced her hit song 'Deeper,' which quickly went number one on [Spotify](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Audio-journalism-platforms). The Yonge-Dundas stage also saw Bombshell, which featured an energetic routine by Scott Fordham Choreography. Given that Brandy has rarely performed in Toronto in recent times, Final Play drew an impressive crowd that gathered to relish in her old school sound, and check out the [many Canadian artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torontos-harbourfront-centre) that made the show so special.
