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.
