Lime Cordiale at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On March 15, Australian indie pop rock band Lime Cordiale brought their Enough of the Sweet Talk Tour to a packed Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
Currently touring their latest album, Enough of the Sweet Talk, the Leimbach brothers—Oli and Louis—delivered a show that was as much a spectacle as it was a singalong, despite Louis’s voice being impacted due to illness right before their arrival to Vancouver.
Fronted by Elijah Gibbins-Croft, SoCal band Foxtide opened the night, and performed songs from their EPs Visions and Paradise.
Shortly after 9pm, the lights dimmed and the energy in the room changed. The stage pulsed with colourful neon visuals on the screen and light tubes, shifting with the mood of each song. But no light show could outshine the sheer charisma of these two frontmen. Whether bouncing around the stage, simulating comicbook-like fight or leading the crowd in call-and-response singalongs, their dynamic chemistry was impossible to ignore.
The five-piece band kept things interesting, even including a kazoo moment (because why not?). The setlist covered all the fan favourites, from the irresistibly groovy “Country Club” to “Temper Temper”, proving just how well Enough of the Sweet Talk translates live.
Lime Cordiale’s ability to turn a venue into a full-blown party is impressive. Whether playing sold-out arenas back home in Australia or packing out a smaller venue in Vancouver, they bring the same unfiltered joy and energy. If you get the chance to catch them live, don’t hesitate—they put on a show that’s impossible not to love.
Lime Cordiale will be on tour in North America until March 26 before heading off to Mexico and Australia. More info on their website.

Joost Klein Brings World Tour With Chaos and Heart in Vancouver
Fresh off two sets at Coachella 2026 — a historic milestone as the first Dutch-language artist to ever grace that stage — Joost Klein brought his world tour to Vancouver’s Harbour Event & Convention Centre on Monday night. If the Southern California desert crowds were a warm-up, Vancouver got the real thing.
From the opening notes of Ome Robert to a euphoric, arms-in-the-air Europapa, Klein delivered nearly 30 songs worth of controlled chaos. The Frisian artist operates in a genuinely singular space, somewhere between Dutch hardcore, punk fury, and emotionally devastating party music. And the packed room at Harbour centre felt every single frequency. Sweat was basically precipitation by the midpoint of the set.
The mosh pits were, predictably, unhinged. Klein summons that energy. Circle pits tore open during Gabberland and BOOM BOOM!!!!!, and the crowd obliged every invitation. Yet between the mayhem, there were quieter moments. A gorgeous Zonder Jou hushed the room before Klein rebuilt the roof again.
Highlights were abundant: a wild TRAFIK! (his take on Käärijä’s banger), and an abridged Friesenjung that turned into a full remix by the encore.
This is a guy who started as a teenage Dutch YouTuber, got disqualified from Eurovision 2024 for comments that some judged controversial, and somehow ended up headlining a world tour on five continents. Nobody saw it coming, Klein included. The rest of the world better be ready for this tour.
Joost Klein will be on tour in North America, Europe and Australia until December 2026. Head to his website for all the information.

Wheatus Play their Debut Album in Full at The Pearl in Vancouver
On April 13, Wheatus rolled into Vancouver and made a strong case that they’ve outgrown rooms like The Pearl. The show was sold out, shoulder-to-shoulder, and honestly felt like it could’ve filled the Commodore Ballroom across the street without breaking a sweat.
Opening support from Chief State and Brain Bent set the tone early, but once Brendan B. Brown and company hit the stage, the night turned into a loose, fan-driven ride. True to form, the band leaned into spontaneity, pulling from a deep catalogue with help from the crowd, before the show even started. “Leroy,” “Truffles,” and “Wannabe Gangstar” landed fast, while “Hump’Em N’ Dump’Em” slipped in a cheeky nod to Madonna.
Covers were a big part of the night. Their take on Erasure’s “A Little Respect” turned into a full-room singalong, complete with a “My Girl” tag, and “Basket Case” by Green Day brought a jolt of energy mid-set. A Canadian highlight came with “My Music at Work,” a respectful nod to The Tragically Hip that hit especially well with the local crowd, followed later by a heartfelt “Time Stand Still” from Rush.
The deeper cuts, “Lemonade,” “Fourteen,” and “I’d Never Write a Song About You, ”showed the band’s range, balancing humour with real vulnerability. Then came “Teenage Dirtbag.” No surprise, it turned into mass karaoke, with every fan in the room locked in from the first line.
Instead of ending big, they closed small. Brown returned alone for an off-mic acoustic “Desperate Songs,” quiet enough that you could hear the room breathe. It was a simple finish that summed up the night: warm and completely in sync with the crowd.
