Brett Young at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver
Brett Young brought his Back To Basics World Tour to Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre on April 17, and the night was full of warm vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and a crowd that was all in from the start.
The opener, Nashville-based duo Ryan and Rory, kicked things off with smooth harmonies and acoustic-driven country pop. They kept the energy light and personal with front porch jams with arena-level polish. They had a great time on stage and it reflected in their performance.
Then it was time for Brett Young to finally hit the stage. He walked, tall and calm, like he was just here to hang out and sing you some stories. He opened with “Sleep Without You,” and from there, it was a string of fan favourites and tender deep cuts. “In Case You Didn’t Know” and “Mercy” got the biggest reactions, with more than a few teary eyes in the crowd.
Young’s voice sounded just as smooth live as it does on his records. He shared personal stories, talked about what inspired certain songs, and created a vibe that felt more like a conversation than a concert.
Brett Young will be on tour in North America until May 3 (Reno, NV) before heading to Australia and then Europe. More info on his website.

Avenoir Brings ‘Mirage Tour’ to the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver
Rising Canadian R&B artist Avenoir brought his Mirage Tour – Act One to Vancouver on March 12, playing an intimate show at the Hollywood Theatre. The evening opened with a set from Alberta-born singer-songwriter Jonah David, who warmed up the crowd with his 2-piece band before the headliner took the stage. David‘s performance was clearly a hit as fans asked for autograph as soon as his set ended.
Born in South Africa and raised in Edmonton, Avenoir has built serious momentum over the past year. His debut EP NOIRE earned a 2025 Juno nomination, and his music has racked up hundreds of millions of streams. The Vancouver stop was part of a short run of theatre shows meant to give fans a closer look at the fast-rising artist before a bigger year ahead.
The performance leaned into atmosphere. Avenoir kept movement minimal, often standing alone at center stage as his songs unfolded over sleek production, including great saxophone moments. His acoustics songs helped strengthen his connection with the audience. The production blended futuristic R&B with booming 808s and dramatic arrangements that gave several tracks a cinematic punch. His voice has a smoky tone that cuts through the heavy beats.
The show felt like a young artist still settling into the stage. The music is already there, and the confidence will likely follow.

JUNNY Brings ‘null’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Korean-Canadian R&B artist JUNNY brought warmth to a cold Vancouver night on March 4, turning the Vogue Theatre into a packed, swaying sea of JUNNIVERSE for his null Tour. Promoted by MRG Live, the show supported his second full-length album, null, and marked the second-to-last stop on his North American run before wrapping in Calgary.
DAUL opened the show with a tight, high-energy set that worked well with the crowd. Once the room was warmed up, JUNNY stepped out under the screams of the fans. Bathed in pulsing lights, he moved with easy confidence, pairing smooth vocals with subtle body rolls that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
He thanked fans several times for coming to his show, and leaned into his charm, shouting out the “sexy ladies and sexy fellas” in the crowd.
On a cold March night in Vancouver, JUNNY delivered heart and heat, exactly what his fans came for. Check out our favourite photos of the night below!
