Exes and O’s Live With Shannon Beveridge – Hard Launch Tour
On March 17, Shannon Beveridge brought her Exes and O’s Hard Launch Tour to the Vancouver Playhouse.
Understanding the importance of diverse representation in entertainment, Shannon is dedicated to amplifying LGBTQIA+ voices through her storytelling. She hosts Exes And O’s, a weekly video podcast where she dives into queer relationships and sex, joined by a rotating lineup of influential queer guests. For this Vancouver edition, she invited E.R. Fightmaster and Breanne Williamson.
Shortly after Shannon‘s VIP Meet & Greet session, we caught up with her and her guests backstage for a few photos. Then it was time for the live show! And it was exactly what you’d expect from Exes And O’s—a perfect blend of comedy, candid conversations, and a whole lot of queer joy.
The night kicked off with Shannon checking in on the crowd, making sure the usually reserved Vancouver audience was warmed up and ready for a night of laughs. She then welcomed actor and musician E.R. Fightmaster to the stage for a lively Q&A.
Things got even more entertaining with the Hard Launch game, hosted by Breanne Williamson. Breanne, a filmmaker, content creator, and advocate for LGBTQIA+ representation, and Shannon kept the energy high as a blindfolded E.R. had to pick an audience member based solely on their answers to four revealing questions. Next up was a round of Would You Rather?, which brought some hilariously tough dilemmas that had both the guests and audience in stitches.
The night wrapped up with an In Memoriam segment, featuring a comically dramatic tribute to iconic queer pop culture moments—think Tumblr, Clexa, and Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson. It was the perfect way to close out a show that balanced humour with heartfelt moments, all while celebrating queer experiences.
As one fan perfectly summed up on the Apple Podcast page, “Whether you are a baby gay, a senior gay, or an ally, this is the podcast you should be listening to.” And if you get the chance to see it live? Even better.
Exes And O’s Hard Launch Tour will be in San Francisco tonight and in Los Angeles on March 22. Head to Shannon’s website for all the ticket info!
We’d like to thank Shannon & her team for welcoming us to the show, as well as Modo Live and Lips Events for having us.

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.
