Jessie Reyez Brings ‘Paid In Memories’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Jessie Reyez kicked off the first of two sold-out nights of her Paid In Memories Tour at the Vogue Theatre on Friday, and the place felt charged before she even walked out.
Toronto R&B artist, Raahiim, warmed up the room with a smooth and short set that reminded us strongly of The Weeknd in the early days.
Shortly after 9pm, Jessie strolled out in oversized shades and a grin that said she was ready to tear the place up. She opened with “I NEVER SAID I WAS SANE,” rolling right into “Beggin 4 Luv.” For “Goliath”, she even brought her father on stage to dance with her. Her voice has that scratchy punch that hits you straight in the chest, and live, it somehow feels even bigger.
Early on, she laid out her three rules for the night: no shame, lose your voice, leave feeling better than you came. Simple, but she delivered on them with wild confidence. She chatted with the crowd like she was hosting the world’s most chaotic group therapy session, remembering names, tossing back jokes, and turning random moments into running bits. That level of connection is rare, and the room love it.
The set leaned heavy on the new album, but older staples like “Shutter Island,” “Figures,” and “Great One” drew some of the loudest reactions. “Figures,” played with just her guitar, brought the place to a hush. Minutes later, bras were flying onstage during “Jeans,” which she calmly hung on her mic stand like it was part of the set design.
She closed her main set with “CUDN’T B ME,” sending everyone out into the cold feeling lighter and a little wrecked in the best way.

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.
