G Flip at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Australian multi-instrumentalist G Flip brought big heart and bigger energy to the Commodore Ballroom on October 27, turning a Monday night into one giant celebration of queer joy and connection. Touring behind their latest album Dream Ride, the Melbourne-born artist hit the stage beaming, and ready to remind everyone why their live shows have become something of legend.
Opening the night was UK singer-songwriter Beth McCarthy, whose candid lyrics and punchy pop hooks set the tone right away. Her easy stage banter and vocal power won over the crowd almost instantly. A perfect warm-up for the night’s main event.
G Flip kicked things off with the swagger of “Disco Cowgirl” and the cheeky anthem “Gay 4 Me,” both of which had the floor bouncing. Between songs, G was pure charisma, cracking jokes, shouting out fans, and keeping things loose. They even walked among the crowd for “I Don’t Wanna Regret,” blurring the line between performer and audience.
The set mixed thunderous drum solos (“Rough”), raw acoustic moments (“Be Your Man,” “Cruel Summer”), a spontaneous session at the soundboard, and high-octane anthems like “Big Ol’ Hammer.” G’s drumming on LED-lit kits flashing lyrics and colours was a show of its own, controlled chaos in rhythm form.
The encore sealed it: “The Worst Person Alive” and “In Another Life” left fans grinning, sweaty, and a little emotional. Beyond the spectacle, G Flip’s show carried a message of community and kindness, echoed in their partnership with PLUS1, donating $1 per ticket to organizations supporting equity and dignity for all.

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.
