Gallery – Dan Mangan at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC
On December 9th, Canadian folk/indie rock musician, Dan Mangan, brought his ‘Going Somewhere’ tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
The concert was opened by BC-born Noble Son, aka Adam Kirshner. Noble Son played songs from his previous albums as well as his newest release ‘Doom’. His well-crafted lyrics and sense of humour has the audience hanging onto his every word. We all wished his set had been a bit longer.
At 9pm, the lights dimmed and Dan Mangan arrived on stage by making his way through the crowd from the back of the venue, greeting people as he went. He opened with “Chrismas Song”, a track that he had written only a few weeks before. For the next 5 songs of the night, Mangan, armed with only his acoustic guitar, sangs songs that were requests from his fans via text messages. He dedicated “Fools For Waiting” to Nicole and Kevin, and “Jeopardy” to Mykala. Before “Aeroplane”, he joked that the gets a special kick when people request songs he didn’t write.
Then Mangan’s band came out on stage to support him for the rest of the night. They started with “Lynchpin” and right into audience participation with the crowd being in charge of background harmonies. Throughout the night, Mangan chatted and joked with the crowd who happily sang-along many of his tracks. The Juno-Award winning singer played a mix old songs as well as new material from his 2022 album ‘Being Somewhere’.
He ended the night in his usual fashion, by going right into the middle of the audience to perform “All My People” and “So Much for Everyone”. It was beautiful end to an incredible intimate show.
Dan Mangan’s Canadian leg of his tour came to an end in Vancouver, but he will be back on road in Europe in February/March 2024.

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.
