Gallery – Ministry + Gary Numan at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC
On March 3rd, Ministry brought their North American tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, with support from Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly.
Appearing at 7pm, Front Line Assembly and their leader Bill Leeb started the show early and got everyone in the right musical mood for the night despite some issues with Leeb’s microphone.
At 8pm, it was time for Gary Numan to take the stage to loud applause and screams, starting his set with “Everything Comes Down To This”. Numan is known to treat his performance as an art form and it showed. Numan and his band came on wearing their distressed stage outfits and the whole set up had strong theatrical gothic undertones.
Numan played songs from his entire catalog, including his latest album Intruder. The highlight of his set was when he played “Cars”, you could feel the excitement of the crowd. He ended with “A Prayer For The Unborn”, from the album Pure, that got everyone singing along.
For over an hour, Gary Numan never stopped moving and dancing, captivating the audience with his dynamic and high energy performance.
Seeing Ministry live on March 3rd was a special moment for all as it was only a few days after their 16th album Hopiumforthemasses released via Nuclear Blast. One by one – finishing with frontman Al Jourgensen, Ministry‘s band members appears on stage and kicked off their set right away with five new tracks off their latest album, starting with “B.D.E.” and “Just Stop Oil”. It was followed by a “Goddamn White Trash”, “Aryan Embarrassment”, and “New Religion”.
The audience’s excitement reached his highest peak when they played their most famous songs “N.W.O.”, “Just One Fix”, and “Stigmata”. They ended their set with “The Light Pours Out Of Me”, a Magazine cover. Ministry played for about 90 minutes during which Al Jourgensen engaged plenty with the fans.
This show was a perfect match-up of three legendary industrial bands all with deep catalogs to pull from and satisfy everybody. Be sure to catch Ministry, Gary Numan and Front Line Assembly this March/April. Click here for the tour dates and ticket info.

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.
