King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC – Gallery
On September 12, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard performed at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC, proving why they are considered one of the most innovative and prolific rock bands of our time. With 25 albums under their belt, including 13 that have charted in the Top 20 in Australia, the band has amassed international critical acclaim and a fervent global fanbase that has built an entire online ecosystem—dubbed ‘The Gizzverse’—dedicated to their music, memes, and lore.
Led by frontman Stu Mackenzie on vocals and guitar, the band also features Ambrose Kenny-Smith (harmonica/vocals/keyboards), Cook Craig (guitar/vocals), Joey Walker (guitar/vocals), Lucas Harwood (bass), and Michael Cavanagh (drums). Together, they crafted a set that spanned their eclectic discography, blending genres like psychedelic rock, heavy metal, and progressive jazz in a seamless and electrifying manner.
Highlights of the night included “Nuclear Fusion” with a fan picked from the pit doing the vocal intro and crowd favourite “Iron Lung,” where the band’s signature hypnotic rhythms and complex time signatures were on full display. The group’s dynamic chemistry and tight musicianship kept the audience engaged, moshing and crowdsurfing, as they navigated through extended jams with ease. The visuals—psychedelic projections that matched the intensity of the music—added to the immersive experience.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will continue their USA/Canada tour until the end of November so make sure to catch a show if you can. More info on the band’s website.

JUNNY Brings ‘null’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Korean-Canadian R&B artist JUNNY brought warmth to a cold Vancouver night on March 4, turning the Vogue Theatre into a packed, swaying sea of JUNNIVERSE for his null Tour. Promoted by MRG Live, the show supported his second full-length album, null, and marked the second-to-last stop on his North American run before wrapping in Calgary.
DAUL opened the show with a tight, high-energy set that worked well with the crowd. Once the room was warmed up, JUNNY stepped out under the screams of the fans. Bathed in pulsing lights, he moved with easy confidence, pairing smooth vocals with subtle body rolls that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
He thanked fans several times for coming to his show, and leaned into his charm, shouting out the “sexy ladies and sexy fellas” in the crowd.
On a cold March night in Vancouver, JUNNY delivered heart and heat, exactly what his fans came for. Check out our favourite photos of the night below!

DRAMA Brings ‘Platonic Romance Tour’ to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Chicago duo DRAMA brought their Platonic Romance tour to Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom on March 2, turning the storied dance floor into a warm, late-night therapy session you could move your hips to.
The pair, producer Na’el Shehade and vocalist Via Rosa, are touring behind their third album, Platonic Romance, released Jan. 9. The record leans into what they’ve always done well: sleek Chicago house grooves under vocals that feel intimate and unguarded. The title, coined years ago while on tour with SG Lewis, speaks to deep friendship and chosen family.
They opened with the title track, setting the tone with Rosa’s soft but steady presence. DRAMA has built a reputation for their “happy sad” balance, and it was on full display. Songs like “Make It Look Easy” and “Dollar $hort” pulsed with club energy, yet there was always an emotional undercurrent running beneath the beat.
Rosa doesn’t oversell a lyric, she lets it land. On “Savannah” and “Here With Me,” her voice floated over Shehade’s house rhythms, creating that blurry space between a packed dance floor and a 2 a.m. confession. “Here With Me,” in particular, felt like the emotional centerpiece.
The duo’s chemistry is the anchor. There’s an ease between them that can’t be staged. Shehade stayed focused behind the decks, layering basslines with precision, then stepping forward to hype the crowd when the moment called for it. Rosa moved with a calm confidence, smiling at the front row, occasionally closing her eyes as if she were back in the studio.
Mid-set, they nodded to longtime fans with “Low Tide,” and “Drama,” reminding the room how far they’ve come since their early EP days. A cover of “Dancing On My Own” drew a singalong, and their take on “Nobody” and “You’ve Done Enough,” both tied to their history with Gorgon City, were a hit with the crowd.
There’s something satisfying about watching a duo that has stayed independent grow into rooms like this. DRAMA has supported arena acts like ODESZA, yet at the Commodore they felt right at home. The venue’s springy dance floor seemed built for their grooves, bouncing in time during “Billy,” “Long Night,” and “Hopes Up.”
They closed the main set with “You’ve Done Enough,” leaving the crowd buzzing before returning for an encore that included “Years” and “3AM.”
What makes DRAMA stand out is restraint. They don’t chase drops for the sake of it. They build moods and trust the tension. On this tour, that approach feels refined and confident, like artists who know exactly who they are.
