King Diamond at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On November 18, Danish rock musician King Diamond brought his Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
King Diamond took over the Vogue Theatre, turning it into a gothic playground of metal and theatrics. The stage was a triple-decker masterpiece, and King used every inch of it, constantly moving and commanding attention. Whether he was centre stage or lurking in the shadows, there was always something happening—you didn’t dare look away in case you missed a moment.
The night felt like spending time in Saint Lucifer’s Hospital, with the eerie stage props and actors adding layers to the storytelling. King’s signature falsetto sounded unreal live, cutting through the dense mix of guitars and drums with ease. He gave nothing less than 100%, backed by a stellar band, including longtime guitarist Andy LaRocque.
A couple of new songs, “Spider Lilly” and “Electro Therapy,” were standout additions to a setlist packed with classics like “Abigail” and “Halloween.” The mix of old and new kept the energy fresh and the fans guessing.
The show’s theatrical edge was elevated by guest performers like Amalie Bruun (aka MYRKUR), whose vocals added depth, and dancer Jodi Cachia, whose movements brought extra life to the dark, dramatic vibe. The lighting and effects felt more like a full-blown theatre production than a typical metal gig, with smoke and backlit scenes creating an otherworldly atmosphere.
Overall, it was a killer night. King Diamond delivered everything fans could’ve hoped for—epic music, insane visuals, and that signature creepy flair.
King Diamond will be on tour in North America until December 6 in Dallas, TX. More info here.
Overkill and Night Demon, who we sadly missed, opened the night.

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.
