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.

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.
