Jacob Collier Brings It Back to the Room at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre

Published

on

Jacob Collier traded spectacle for stillness on April 10 at Orpheum Theatre, and the result felt quietly powerful.

The Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist has built a reputation on big, layered productions and dense harmonic worlds. This tour, The Light For Days Tour: A Series Of Solo Performances In Intimate Spaces, flips that idea. Alone onstage with a five-string guitar, piano, and his signature harmonizer, Collier leaned into restraint.

The set drew heavily from his latest album The Light For Days, a project written in just four days using a single instrument. That limitation carried into the live show. Songs felt more focused, more direct. There was still plenty of harmonic colour, but it never tipped into excess. Instead, it landed with warmth.

Collier’s real instrument, though, might be the crowd. True to form, he conducted the audience like a choir, splitting the room into harmonies that echoed through the Orpheum’s ornate interior. It turned a seated theatre into something communal, almost playful.

Opener Marie Dresselhuis set the tone early with a soft, intimate set that matched the evening’s mood, under the strong cheers of the crowd.

For longtime fans who came up on the sprawling Djesse era, this show was more like a reset. For everyone else, it was a reminder that Collier’s core strength is connection.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to MTelus in Montreal

GoodKid-Montreal-19

On May 19th, 2026, fans packed into MTELUS for the Montreal stop of Good Kid’s Can We Hang Out? tour. This is the second headline show the band has had in Montreal, the first being at Le Studio TD for their This Can’t Be The End tour.

First up was an opening performance by Glitter Party, which faced no difficulty in setting the tone for the night. A set filled with colourful lights, movement, and captivating vocals, matched well with Good Kid’s style, both in performance and music, leaving fans bouncing in anticipation for the main act.

After a charming reading of a couple pages from “The Hobbit” by lead vocalist Nick Frosst as the stage was being set up, the band began the set, opening with “Wall”. Immediately, there was no doubt that this would be a night to remember. The band came out in style, and the energy built up instantly through flashing lights, jumps and head-bangs.

Being from Toronto, the band earned laughs as they expressed they were happy to be back in
Canada after touring in the US, and had the crowd erupting in cheers as they congratulated the city on the Montreal Canadiens hockey win the night before.

The night continued with back-to-back hits, including “Cicada”, “Summer”, of course, “From The Start”, and finally closing the set with “Mimi’s Delivery Service”.

Good Kid sets an incredible standard of immersing a crowd in their world, from an elaborate stage design, beautiful merch that matches their aesthetic, to lots of crowd involvement including a wave of death and lots of crowd surfing! Although for many, Good Kid was not their first concert, it is very safe to say it was one of their favourites!

Approximately two years after their last visit to the country, PETRA returned to Argentina to celebrate their fifty years as a band with a show at Arena Sur in Buenos Aires on May 16th, as part of their 50th Anniversary World Tour.

The tour, which also serves as the presentation of their new album HOPE, has already visited countries such as Costa Rica and Finland, and will continue through Mexico, Switzerland, and the United States.

Considered one of the most important and influential bands in Christian rock history, PETRA has impacted multiple generations throughout its five decades of career. The band has released more than twenty albums, including studio records, live albums, and compilations, sold nearly ten million copies worldwide, and received four Grammy Awards and ten Dove Awards. They also became the first Christian band inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

During this new era, the group is also presenting HOPE, their twenty-first album and first studio record featuring new songs in more than twenty years. The release includes “Deliver Us,” the lead single inspired by Ephesians 6:12-13 and centered around a message of faith and spiritual strength.

The night at Arena Sur began with a performance by La PaezSystem as the opening act, kicking off an evening marked by rock and faith-based music.

After fifty years of career, PETRA continues to keep alive the legacy that turned them into one of the most recognized bands within Christian rock music.
