Amyl & The Sniffers at the PNE Forum in Vancouver
Amyl & The Sniffers stormed into the PNE Forum on March 26, 2025, bringing an electrifying dose of Aussie punk mayhem. With Sheer Mag kicking things off, it was clear from the start that this was going to be a night of pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll chaos.
American rock band Sheer Mag set the tone with a mix of riff-heavy rock and soulful vocals. Their set was tight, raw, and packed with enough energy to warm up the crowd for what was coming next. The Palestinian flag on a mic stand was a nice touch. By the time Amyl & The Sniffers took the stage, the venue was primed and ready to explode.
After arriving on stage, drink in hand, Amy Taylor took the mic and got things straigth from the start: “If anyone falls down, help them up. Don’t touch anyone that doesn’t want to be touched. And get rowdy!” The band then launched into “Doing It In Me Head,” instantly igniting a frenzy in the pit. Taylor, a firecracker of a frontwoman, wasted no time asserting her presence—stalking the stage, flexing, and whipping the crowd into a punk-fueled riot. Clad in tiny shorts, a leather jacket and absolute confidence, she owned every inch of the stage, her high-pitched Aussie drawl cutting through the distortion.
The setlist was a high-speed blur of bangers, with tracks from their latest album, Cartoon Darkness, hitting just as hard as fan favourites like “Security” and “Some Mutts (Can’t Be Muzzled).” “Me and the Girls” felt like an anthem for every woman in the crowd ready to take up space and make some noise.
By the time they closed with “Balaclava Lover Boogie,” the crowd was drenched in sweat, grinning ear to ear, and fully spent. No encores, no filler—just pure punk energy, bottled up and detonated in 80 minutes. If you missed it, you missed one of the best live bands on the planet at their absolute peak.
Amyl & The Sniffers will continue their Cartoon Darkness World Tour in North America until May 23 before jumping over to Europe. More info on their website.

Goose Brings their ‘Summer Tour’ to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Goose brought their 2026 Summer Tour to Vancouver on Tuesday night, turning the Commodore Ballroom into a sweaty, late-night dance party that stretched well past 11 p.m.
The Connecticut-based quartet — Rick Mitarotonda, Peter Anspach, Trevor Weekz and drummer Cotter Ellis — has built a reputation for letting songs breathe onstage, and Vancouver got the full treatment. The band played two sets and an encore, giving the crowd plenty of room to settle into the grooves and watch the songs take unexpected turns.
The first set opened with “Yeti” before moving through “All I Need,” “Turbulence & The Night Rays” and “Time to Flee.” “Everything Must Go” kept things moving before “Hungersite” closed the set with one of the night’s bigger stretches of improvisation.
After a break, Goose returned and launched into “Electric Avenue,” a crowd-pleasing choice that had the Commodore singing along.
There was little interest in rushing through the evening. Goose gave each section space, moving from tight grooves to loose instrumental passages without making the show feel like a collection of extended solos.
For a band coming off a European run and heading into some of its biggest U.S. shows, Vancouver felt like another strong stop on the way. The Commodore may be a much smaller room than Madison Square Garden or SPAC, but Goose seemed perfectly happy to stretch out inside it.

Chance The Rapper Brings ‘Coloring Book 10 Year Anniversary Tour’ to Montreal at MTelus
After 10 years since its release, Chance the Rapper is back on tour to celebrate his album Coloring Book! With Montreal being the 4th stop on the tour, many fans packed into Montreal’s MTELUS on August 15th, 2026, with no idea of what to expect.
First, the audience was thrilled by an energetic and upbeat performance by opener La Reezy. His quick lyrics and heavy instrumentals had no trouble in setting the tone for the night, specifically during “Gold Chains,” and with stellar crowd engagement during “We Live.”
Then, Chance the Rapper took the stage! With Coloring Book being such a staple in 2016, especially in the rap community, it is a daunting task to bring that nostalgic energy back on stage. But, with a 24-song setlist, Chance does just that. Unsurprisingly, half the setlist features songs from Coloring Book, with the set opening with “All We Got,” and closing with “Same Drugs,” featuring a confetti-filled performance of “No Problem” in the middle. However, Chance doesn’t shy away from performing a few hits from his other albums as well, such as “Link Me In The Future” from STAR LINE, and some older work in Acid Rap.
Overall, there is something powerful about hearing these songs a decade later. The themes stay the same, yet as both the artist and audience grow, there’s new meanings and emotions to be found in the lyrics. The anniversary show felt like a reunion for those who grew up with Coloring Book, and that’s what ultimately makes this tour a success.
