Black Label Society Delivers a Thunderous Night at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre

Published

on

Black Label Society turned the Orpheum Theatre into a full-on metal sanctuary on March 17, with Zakk Wylde pulling double duty in a night that never really let up.

The evening opened with Dark Chapel, led by BLS guitarist Dario Lorina. The set was short but sharp, with “Afterglow” quickly grabbing attention. Lorina stepped out of the sideman role and owned the stage, showing off a gritty vocal that caught plenty of people off guard.

Then came Zakk Sabbath, Wylde’s love letter to Black Sabbath. The trio ripped through staples like “Children of the Grave” and “War Pigs,” with Wylde stretching solos into wild, high-speed territory all while jumping into the crowd several times. The set ended up turning into both a tribute and a celebration.

By the time Black Label Society hit the stage, the energy was already high. They leaned into both new and classic material, including the crushing “Name in Blood” from their upcoming album Engines of Demolition. The biggest reaction came during “No More Tears,” a track Wylde helped write during his years with Ozzy Osbourne, which had the entire room locked in.

The whole night was loud, a little chaotic, and exactly what fans showed up for.

Goose Brings their ‘Summer Tour’ to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver

Published

Goose

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

Published

Chance The Rapper-Montreal-6

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.
