Kamasi Washington at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC – Gallery
On May 30, renowned American jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington brought his Fearless Movement Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC, in support of his new album Fearless Movement, released May 3rd.
Kicking off the night was Peregrine Falls. The Vancouverite rock fusion band was a great opening act to warm up the crowd.
As the lights dimmed and the band took the stage, the crowd buzzed with anticipation. Washington addressed the Vancouver audience, encouraging them to let the music move them. The show began quietly with the album opener “Lesanu” and featured a selection of tracks from the impressive new album. The evening was rich with sonic textures and melodies, blending digital and analog sounds to create a captivating aural tapestry.
Each artist on stage showcased the ensemble’s versatility. Bassist Miles Mosley and drummer Tony Austin impressed with their incredible instrumental skills. Trombonist Ryan Porter and Kamasi’s father, flutist Rickey Washington, added beautiful moments to the musical arrangements. Patrice Quinn’s vocals were calming and soulful. Brandon Coleman’s performance was a highlight, with him and Battlecat seeming to communicate in their own unique musical language.
For the audience, it was a magical evening of music, embodying the spirit of “Fearless Movement.” Washington will be on the road until he reaches Los Angeles on June 16th so make sure to catch a show if he comes near you!

Wave To Earth Bring ‘the pieces tour’ to Vancouver
By the time Wave to Earth took the stage at Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Arena on September 4, Vancouver was already buzzing. A lineup stretched around the block as fans waited to see the South Korean indie-rock trio kick off the first date of their the pieces tour in the city.
The band’s stage setup immediately set the tone, arranged to look like a cozy living room, complete with windows that opened onto a constantly changing view of the world outside. The clever screens showed footage filmed just outside the arena, creating the illusion that the stage was looking out onto the neighbourhood. Periodically, TransLink buses could be seen passing by, an unexpectedly Vancouver specific detail that made the arena feel intimate.
That sense of intimacy carried into the band’s entrance, with lead singer Daniel Kim stepping onto the stage wearing a UBC Arts cap, a small but memorable nod to the city and its university community.
From the opening notes, Wave to Earth leaned into the warm, laid-back atmosphere that has made their music resonate with fans around the world. The contrast between the arena’s size and the deliberately homey stage design made the show feel like being invited into the band’s living room.
As the opening night of the pieces tour, the Vancouver show set the tone for what promises to be a visually thoughtful and atmospheric run of dates.

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.
