Gwar at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
In typical fashion, GWAR turned the Vogue Theatre into a full-blown war zone on October 29, soaking the Vancouver crowd in gallons of fake blood and alien fluids during their Return of Gor Gor Tour. The intergalactic shock rockers, now 40 years deep into their reign of absurdity, proved once again that no one blends satire, metal, and gore quite like they do.
Led by Blöthar the Berserker (Michael Bishop), the band exploded onto the stage immediately baptizing the front row in red spray. From there, the carnage only escalated and many puppets all met their grisly ends as the crowd screamed for more. Fans came prepared in white T-shirts, ready to leave looking like extras from a horror movie, which, frankly, they were.
The set leaned heavy on new tracks from The Return of Gor Gor, including “Lot Lizard” and “Tyrant King,” alongside cult favourites like “Saddam a Go-Go,” “Bring Back the Bomb,” and the closer “Sick of You.” When the monstrous T-Rex Gor Gor appeared mid-show, the place erupted in pure chaos.
Under all the slime and shock, GWAR remain killer musicians. The riffs from Balsac the Jaws of Death and Grodius Maximus were razor-sharp, and Jizmak da Gusha’s drumming hit like artillery fire. Four decades in, the Scumdogs of the Universe still deliver the wildest, weirdest spectacle in metal.

Avenoir Brings ‘Mirage Tour’ to the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver
Rising Canadian R&B artist Avenoir brought his Mirage Tour – Act One to Vancouver on March 12, playing an intimate show at the Hollywood Theatre. The evening opened with a set from Alberta-born singer-songwriter Jonah David, who warmed up the crowd with his 2-piece band before the headliner took the stage.
Born in South Africa and raised in Edmonton, Avenoir has built serious momentum over the past year. His debut EP NOIRE earned a 2025 Juno nomination, and his music has racked up hundreds of millions of streams. The Vancouver stop was part of a short run of theatre shows meant to give fans a closer look at the fast-rising artist before a bigger year ahead.
The performance leaned into atmosphere. Avenoir kept movement minimal, often standing alone at center stage as his songs unfolded over sleek production, including great saxophone moments. His acoustics songs helped strengthen his connection with the audience. The production blended futuristic R&B with booming 808s and dramatic arrangements that gave several tracks a cinematic punch. His voice has a smoky tone that cuts through the heavy beats.
The show felt like a young artist still settling into the stage. The music is already there, and the confidence will likely follow.

JUNNY Brings ‘null’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Korean-Canadian R&B artist JUNNY brought warmth to a cold Vancouver night on March 4, turning the Vogue Theatre into a packed, swaying sea of JUNNIVERSE for his null Tour. Promoted by MRG Live, the show supported his second full-length album, null, and marked the second-to-last stop on his North American run before wrapping in Calgary.
DAUL opened the show with a tight, high-energy set that worked well with the crowd. Once the room was warmed up, JUNNY stepped out under the screams of the fans. Bathed in pulsing lights, he moved with easy confidence, pairing smooth vocals with subtle body rolls that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
He thanked fans several times for coming to his show, and leaned into his charm, shouting out the “sexy ladies and sexy fellas” in the crowd.
On a cold March night in Vancouver, JUNNY delivered heart and heat, exactly what his fans came for. Check out our favourite photos of the night below!
