Gallery – The Black Crowes at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC
On April 16th, legendary rock band The Black Crowes brought their ‘Happiness Bastards Tour’ to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC, in support of their latest album Happiness Bastards, their first studio album since 2009.
21-year-old rocker Billy Tibballs opened the night with tracks from his debut album Stay Tennage. His energy on stage was contagious and warmed up the crowd perfectly for the main act.
Around 9pm, The Black Crowes appeared on stage and kicked things into high gear right away. They started the show with “Bedside Manners”, the opening track of Happiness Bastards. Frontman Chris Robinson commanded the stage as he moved all over the stage, while his brother Rich enjoyed his time on side of the stage delivering incredible guitar solos.
The Black Crowes has made sure to entertain their fans on this tour by performing a different setlist every night. Yesterday, the audience got treated to the classic hits like “Hard To Handle” “She Talks To Angels”, new songs from Happiness Bastards like “Wanting And Waiting” and “Wilted Rose”, as well as a few surprise tracks like “She Gave Good Sunflower” and “Paint an 8”.
For the encore, the band played “God’s Got It”, a Reverend Charlie Jackson’s cover. The band put on an amazing show for an hour and half. It was great to see the Robinson Brothers having fun and getting along.
You can still catch a Black Crowes show before they end their North American run in Philadelphia on May 7 at The Met Philadelphia, before flying to Europe. All the info is on the band’s website.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On May 10th, Canadian indie rock band Good Kid brought their Can We Hang Out? Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver. The Toronto-born group, known for their high-energy performances and catchy melodies, kept the Vancouver crowd going all night long with their quirky personalities and interactions with the crowd.
The band is touring in support of their first full-length studio album, Can We Hang Out Sometime? — A bright, energetic indie rock record about the importance of staying connected when life feels chaotic.
Good Kid took to the stage around 9:00 pm, previewing the fresh sounds of Can We Hang Out Sometime? Opening with the catchy “Wall”. Instantly, the band had the crowd at their fingertips, singing along to every single lyric and getting the whole venue jumping up and down.
The Toronto group have built one of the strongest artist–fan relationships in modern indie rock by making their audience feel like an active part of the band’s world rather than just consumers of their music. There is an official Good Kid discord server, and they regularly engage with their fans on social media. They’ve also tapped into the gaming/streaming space, letting people use their music without aggressive copyright enforcement and have made a name for themselves in the Fortnite community.
Through the night, the band ran through their hits like “From the Start”, Mimi’s Delivery Service”, “Cicada”, “Summer” and “Bubbly.”
The show was full of antics with a wall of death, playing basketball with a giant beach ball and hula hoops, and even lead singer Nick Frosst at one point joining the moshpit. With a show of hands, it was about half of the venue’s first concert experience, and Good Kid definitely made it one to remember.
One thing is for sure — anytime Good Kid rolls into town, Vancouver is always down to hang out sometime.

The Midnight Bring ‘Time Machines’ Tour to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver
The Midnight turned the Queen Elizabeth Theatre into a glowing neon escape on May 10 as part of their Time Machines tour. Backed by sweeping synths and plenty of saxophone solos, the duo delivered a warm cinematic show.
By the time The Midnight hit the stage at 8pm, the Quennie was packed with fans spanning multiple generations. What stood out right away was how present everyone seemed. Phones stayed mostly down as the crowd soaked in every synth line, beat drop, and saxophone run.
Tyler Lyle was calm and conversational throughout the night, often encouraging singalongs that the audience happily delivered. The setlist balanced older fan favourites with newer tracks from 2025’s Syndicate. Songs like “Friction,” “Jason” performed with Harlee Case of New Constellations, and “Change Your Heart or Die” gave the show an energetic pulse, while “Los Angeles” and “Vampires” brought out the emotional core that has made the band so beloved in the synthwave world.
Visually, the show leaned into rich blues, purples, and neon pinks without going overboard. The production never distracted from the music itself. Instead, it amplified the feeling that The Midnight creates so well: nostalgia for a place that maybe never existed at all.
By the encore, the crowd was singing every word back as the band closed out a night that felt heartfelt and immersive.
