Jessie Murph at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver
On September 22, Jessie Murph brought her Worldwide Hysteria Tour to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, and the night was anything but quiet. Rising from behind a giant round podium dressed in a yellow two-piece with a flowing cape, Murph set the tone instantly. With male dancers flanking her and a tight live band backing her, she launched into a fierce opening trio of “Gucci Mane,” “1965,” and “Touch Me Like a Gangster,” all from her breakout 2025 album Sex Hysteria.
The crowd did more than just sing along, they screamed every lyric back at her. The devotion on display seemed to fuel Murph, who flashed wide grins between verses and leaned into her mix of swagger and vulnerability. Her stage presence carries the same contradictions as her music: sweet on the surface, raw and unfiltered at the core.
The night also held a special surprise: it happened to be Murph’s 21st birthday. Midway through the set, her crew rolled out a cake and led the audience in a massive singalong of “Happy Birthday,” a moment that had Murph laughing and tearing up before jumping back into the performance. It was a reminder that while her songs often explore heavy emotions, she’s still at the start of a career with milestones ahead.
At only 21, Murph has already carved out a space where hip hop cadence, country twang, and bluesy grit collide. Sex Hysteria dives into messy, intoxicating love, and hearing those words echoed by hundreds of fans was striking.
Murph’s rise has been fast, from TikTok covers in 2021 to charting singles like “Always Been You,” “Pray,” and most recently “Blue Strips.” With sold-out shows and record-setting crowds already under her belt, it’s hard not to imagine her leaping from theatres to arenas on her next run. In Vancouver, she proved she’s ready for it.

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 “Need,” “Turbulence” and “Time to Flee.” “Everything Must Go” and “Mr. Action” kept things moving before “Hungersite” closed the set with one of the night’s bigger stretches of improvisation.
After a break, Goose returned with “Tumble” and “Wysteria,” followed by a surprising cover of Radiohead’s “Weird Fishes.” “Jive I” brought the funk before the band launched into “Electric Avenue,” a crowd-pleasing choice that had the Commodore singing along.
“Lee” wrapped up the second set, but Goose wasn’t finished. The band returned for “Spin Me,” sending the crowd home after a long night of music.
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.
