July Talk Bring ‘Touch X Tour’ to the Bronson Music Theatre in Ottawa
On March 25, July Talk brought their Touch X Tour: Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Touch to a sold-out Bronson Music Theatre in Ottawa.
The night opened with a steady, rootsy set from Julianna Riolino. Her warm vocals and understated delivery gave the room time to settle in, easing the audience into what would soon become a far more volatile atmosphere.
When July Talk hit the stage, the tone shifted instantly. The band leaned into the 10-year legacy of Touch, performing the album front to back. It gave the set a sense of structure, but nothing about the performance felt too rigid, especially in the second half of the show. From the jump, the push-and-pull chemistry between Leah Fay and Peter Dreimanis took over, with her theatrical movements and piercing vocals colliding with his gravelly intensity.
One of the most striking elements of the night was Fay’s stage presence while visibly pregnant. It didn’t slow her down in the slightest. She moved across the stage with a mix of control and abandon, at times swaying with a softer touch, then snapping right back into the band’s usual feral energy. The contrast added a new layer to the performance without ever pulling focus from the music itself.
Tracks like “Beck + Call” and “Picturing Love” hit with the same urgency they had a decade ago, while “Push + Pull” turned the floor into a sea of movement. By the time they reached “Lola + Joseph,” the crowd was fully locked in, feeding off every gesture between the two frontpeople.
Midway through, the band slipped in newer material, including songs from Love Isn’t Dead, a previously unreleased companion record to Touch. Rather than feeling like leftovers, these tracks blended seamlessly into the set and proved they still hold up.
After closing the album portion with “Touch,” the band loosened up. “Summer Dress” sparked a loud singalong, and deeper cuts added variety without losing momentum. The encore brought things home with a punch, ending on “The Garden,” which left the room buzzing.
This Anniversary Tour showed that July Talk still thrives in the chaos they create, and the crowd is more than happy to get swept up in it.

Dax Brings ‘The Anger Management Tour’ to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Dax brought The Anger Management Tour to Vancouver’s Vogue Theatre on November 10, delivering an evening of personal storytelling, emotional rap and music built around the struggles that have shaped his career. Opening the night was Knox Hill, who warmed up the crowd ahead of the Canadian rapper’s headline performance.
Born Daniel Nwosu Jr., Dax has built a sizeable following through social media and a catalogue that blends hip-hop with country influences and deeply personal subject matter. His breakout hit “Dear Alcohol” has amassed hundreds of millions of streams, helping introduce his music to audiences beyond traditional rap circles. Tracks like “To Be A Man” and “Lonely Dirt Road” have further established his reputation for tackling difficult subjects through direct, autobiographical lyrics.
That emotional honesty sits at the centre of The Anger Management Tour. Dax has continued releasing new material in 2026, including “Temptation” and “God, Can You Hear Me?,” keeping his focus on faith, relationships, frustration and personal growth.
The Vancouver show gave fans a chance to connect with an artist whose music often feels more like a conversation than a traditional rap performance. From reflective moments to more intense material, Dax‘s approach puts the lyrics front and centre.

The Dreggs close off “Heading Home Tour” in Perth!
Australian duo – The Dreggs – brought their Heading Home Tour to a close with a sold-out show at Metropolis Fremantle in Perth. It was a night full of good vibes, big smiles and plenty of energy, with the crowd giving the band a warm welcome from the very beginning.
The evening kicked off with two support acts, Ella Jones and Betty Taylor Band. Both delivered great sets, bringing plenty of energy to the room and getting the crowd ready for the main event.
When The Dreggs finally took the stage, the atmosphere only got better. The duo moved effortlessly between upbeat tracks like “Stay the Night” and “We Don’t Talk,” and more melancholic moments that gave the show a different, more intimate feel.
There was something special about the whole night. From the first songs to the final moments, the smiles on stage seemed to match those in the crowd. A sold-out venue, great support acts and a band clearly enjoying every second of it – a pretty perfect way for The Dreggs to wrap up their Heading Home Tour!
