Justice at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC – Gallery
Justice brought their Hyperdrama tour to Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum on October 8, delivering a mind-blowing performance that lived up to their legacy. Returning to the city for the first time in 12 years, the French duo, comprising of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, unleashed a night of pounding beats and intense energy that turned the venue into a rave-like spectacle.
Kicking off with their iconic opener “Genesis” and the familiar Justice cross, the crowd erupted as the beats hit hard, setting the tone for a relentless, high-energy set. Mixing old classics like “D.A.N.C.E.” with fresh cuts from their latest album Hyperdrama –their first new album in eight years,– the duo effortlessly blended their signature electro-rock sound with immersive new twists. The crowd moved in sync with every thumping bassline and breakdown.
One of the highlights was the mesmerizing light show, designed by Vincent Lérisson, which felt like a science fiction experience. Lights flickered, strobed, and swirled around the stage, making the whole performance as much a visual spectacle as an auditory one. The transitions between tracks were seamless, keeping the energy levels high and the audience entranced from start to finish.
Justice showed why they’ve mastered the balance between rock and electronic music, leaving Vancouver fans dancing and eager for more.

Holly Humberstone Brings ‘Cruel World’ Tour to Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
On June 25th, English indie-pop singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone brought her Cruel World North American Tour to a sold-out Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.
After Humberstone enthralled the Commodore with her emotional and delicate vocals and created a warm atmosphere, keeping it personal, sharing stories with the audience.
The Grantham native is touring in support of her newest album, Cruel World, of which we got a sneak peek of during her performance at All Things Go early June. While her music remains deeply introspective, the new material carries a greater sense of confidence, shifting between quiet vulnerability and soaring choruses that the audience, getting to hear it live for the first time, can’t help but sing along.
Mixing songs into the set from Cruel World, Humberstone performed the instantly catchy “White Noise,” the gothic-inspired “Die Happy,” and fan favourite “To Love Somebody,” among many other tunes.
Throughout the night, she also sprinkled in career-defining tracks like “Falling Asleep At The Wheel,” “Scarlett,” “Deep End,” and “The Walls Are Way Too Thin”.
Holly Humberstone balanced a raw, commanding vocal delivery with the tight musicianship of her band, expanding familiar tracks into a fuller live sound that made the most of the Commodore Ballroom’s rich acoustics.

Snail Mail Took Over Le Trabendo in Paris for ‘Ricochet’ Tour
Snail Mail, Lindsay Jordan’s indie rock solo project, took over Le Trabendo in Paris, France on June 23.
As fans slowly made their way to the venue, they were welcomed by the bedroom pop sounds of singer-songwriter Unflirt. The emerging London-based artist, whose real name is Christine Senorin, performed both new and old songs. From her first single “Crush” to a few songs from her album Fleeting, fans were lucky enough to also hear her new unreleased song, “New York.”
At 9pm, it was then time for Snail Mail to hit the stage. Four years since their last headline show in France, fans were so excited to see them again that many braved the heat wave—fittingly also the title of one of the songs performed that evening. By the first song, the venue was crowded and buzzing, and Snail Mail delivered a high-energy show despite the melting heat.
Ricochet, the band’s third album, was released in March of this year, and fans got to hear it in its entirety throughout a carefully crafted setlist. Starting with “Tractor Beam,” Snail Mail performed a mix of songs from their entire discography, from the critically acclaimed single “Valentine” to “Thinning,” the opening track of her debut EP. The night ended with “Pristine,” jokingly called “Paris-tine” for the night.
The Ricochet Tour, started in April in America, is now coming to an end with its last shows in the United Kingdom. Snail Mail will then embark on a co-headline tour with Soccer Mommy across the United States next fall.
