Gallery – Danny Brown at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC
On April 1st, American rapper Danny Brown brought his ‘Quaranta Tour’ to a sold-out Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC.
Up first were Bruiser Wolf and his amazing lyricism, and hyperpop artist Alice Longyu Gao, who got the crowd ready for the main act.
From the moment he hit the stage with “Quaranta,” the title track of his latest album, the energy was palpable. Dressed in his a long silver robe hiding a 70’s-style Canucks jersey, Brown exuded confidence and clarity, captivating the audience with his vocal dexterity and sharp lyrics.
Tracks like “Tantor” and “Ain’t My Concern” ignited the crowd, while “Dark Sword Angel” and “Monopoly” showcased Brown‘s intensity and growth as an artist. Paying homage to his collaboration with JPEGMAFIA, he delivered fierce covers of their hits, electrifying the venue.
Returning to his solo material, Brown delighted fans with favourites like “When It Rain” and “Dirty Laundry.” The night peaked with “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation,” culminating in demands for an encore. Closing with “Side B (Dope Song),” Brown left the audience wanting more, sealing the night as a triumphant success.
Danny Brown has a few more dates in North America before finishing the tour in Nashville on April 14. Find more info on the dates and tickets on here.

Wave To Earth Bring ‘the pieces tour’ to Vancouver
By the time Wave to Earth took the stage at Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Arena on September 4, Vancouver was already buzzing. A lineup stretched around the block as fans waited to see the South Korean indie-rock trio kick off the first date of their the pieces tour in the city.
The band’s stage setup immediately set the tone, arranged to look like a cozy living room, complete with windows that opened onto a constantly changing view of the world outside. The clever screens showed footage filmed just outside the arena, creating the illusion that the stage was looking out onto the neighbourhood. Periodically, TransLink buses could be seen passing by, an unexpectedly Vancouver specific detail that made the arena feel intimate.
That sense of intimacy carried into the band’s entrance, with lead singer Daniel Kim stepping onto the stage wearing a UBC Arts cap, a small but memorable nod to the city and its university community.
From the opening notes, Wave to Earth leaned into the warm, laid-back atmosphere that has made their music resonate with fans around the world. The contrast between the arena’s size and the deliberately homey stage design made the show feel like being invited into the band’s living room.
As the opening night of the pieces tour, the Vancouver show set the tone for what promises to be a visually thoughtful and atmospheric run of dates.

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.
