Maple Leafs superstars Mitch Marner and Joseph Woll rocked the stage during Norwegian DJ Kygo’s concert at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday night. The Toronto show was part of Kygo’s World Tour that was announced last year.
The concert featured an extensive setlist that included many of Kygo's iconic tracks. Highlights included "The Feeling" featuring Sigrid, "Whatever" with Ava Max, and "For Life," a collaboration with Zak Abel and Nile Rodgers.
The surprise of the evening was a special appearance by Toronto Maple Leafs stars Mitch Marner and Joseph Woll. The duo joined Justin Jesso on stage and the American singer asked Woll if they could try singing "Stargazing" with him.
“Some special guests got on the mic at the @kygomusic show in Toronto 🍁”, Sportsnet’s Instagram account captioned a clip from the evening.
The Toronto crowd enjoyed as the “locker room DJs” sang along with Jesso in a full Scotiabank Arena.
Fans also enjoyed emotional renditions of "Forever Yours" as a tribute to Avicii featuring Sandro Cavazza, and the classic hit "Firestone" featuring Conrad Sewell.
