In Flames at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Swedish heavy metal powerhouse In Flames brought their signature mix of melody and heaviness to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on April 1, 2025.
Unearth kicked off the night with a blistering set that immediately set the tone for the evening. Their blend of metalcore intensity and technical precision had the crowd engaged from the first riff. Frontman Trevor Phipps wasted no time getting the audience involved, urging circle pits and headbanging from start to finish. By the time they wrapped up, the crowd was primed and ready for In Flames.
As the intro music faded and the first notes of “Cloud Connected” rang out, the crowd erupted, setting the tone for a high-energy night full of crowdsurfers and mosh pits.
Anders Fridén commanded the stage with a mix of brutal growls and clean vocals, effortlessly shifting between aggression and melody. Björn Gelotte’s guitar work was as sharp as ever, delivering crushing riffs and soaring solos. Chris Broderick, brought plenty of energy, headbanging and covering every inch of the stage. Liam Wilson, the band’s bassist, held everything down with tight, groovy basslines, adding weight to the band’s already massive sound. Meanwhile, Tanner Wayne’s drumming kept the set tight and relentless.
The setlist was a solid mix of old and new, catering to fans of all ages. When they played “Food for the Gods,” the older crowd went wild, while newer tracks like “In the Dark” had younger fans jumping in the pit. When “Voices” kicked in, everyone in the room lost their minds together.
Lighting and visuals added to the intensity, with deep blue and red washes creating a dramatic atmosphere. By the time they closed with “My Sweet Shadow,” the venue was a sea of exhausted but ecstatic metalheads. In Flames may have gone through lineup changes, but their energy and impact remain as strong as ever. Vancouver got a show to remember.
In Flames will be on tour with Machine Head in April & May. Grab your tickets now!

Jungle Bring Their World Tour to Accor Arena in Paris
Last Friday, Jungle kicked off the night in Paris to the sound of “Smile”, opening the show in front of a crowd ready to celebrate.
Their signature basslines swept through the venue, making every one of the 20,000 souls packed inside vibrate. It is hard to find the words for what makes Jungle so magical, other than the spell cast by a sound that blends electronic, reggae and hip-hop influences, one that gives you goosebumps and sets your body in motion. Simply put, it is impossible to hear their music without dancing, smiling and feeling good.
Fast tempos, intricate rhythms and heavy basslines are the usual shorthand for their sound, but live, it becomes something more. Every song carried a touch of magic that no description quite captures, turning the arena into one giant dancefloor.
These photos try to capture what words can’t, a night where Jungle turned an arena into a shared celebration, and where the music did all the talking.

Marianas Trench Pack History Ottawa, With Fionn Opening
Vancouver acts on both ends of the bill. Fionn opened and Marianas Trench headlined at History Ottawa on October 24, 2026.
Fionn, a pair of twins, had a room that was already nearly full by the time they hit the stage, which isn’t always a given for an opener. They made the most of it with a high-energy set that never let up, and with the two working well together, and feeding off each other’s energy. They were rocking out the whole way through, and it set the tone for the night.
Marianas Trench took the stage to a crowd that was loud from the start and sang along throughout, often seeming to carry the songs as much as the band did.
The set covered a wide range of their discography, from newer hits like “Down to You” to older fan favourites like “Stutter” and “Cross My Heart.” Longtime fans and newer ones got their moments, and the crowd knew every word either way.
Frontman Josh Ramsey, on lead vocals and guitar, controlled the room from start to finish. He was engaging and constantly connected with the audience, and his vocals were fantastic. Midway through the night he left the stage and walked through the crowd, a staple of his at many shows. It brought him face to face with the fans singing back at him, a moment I’m sure they’ll never forget.
It was a strong night for Vancouver music in Ottawa: an opener that came to play and a headliner that had the whole room with them.
