Megadeth at Rogers Forum in Abbostford
Megadeth rolled into Abbotsford’s Rogers Forum on February 17 with their Canadian farewell tour in tow, and they did not waste a second getting down to business. The lineup alone was enough to make any thrash fan sweat a little. Bay Area pioneers Exodus kicked things off with a gritty, no-frills set that immediately sparked the first mosh pits of the night, followed by NYC heavyweights Anthrax, who kept the circle pits churning and the energy climbing. By the time Megadeth hit the stage, the arena was buzzing and fully warmed up.
They came out swinging with “Tipping Point,” “Dread and the Fugitive Mind,” and a ripping “Hangar 18,” setting a fierce pace right away. The band sounded tight, confident, and completely in sync, tearing through a set that balanced longtime favourites with deeper cuts. On the floor, the pits kept opening and collapsing in waves, a constant swirl of bodies matching every rapid-fire riff.
About halfway through, the band made some tour debuts featuring “She-Wolf,” and “Poison Was the Cure”. Not too long after, fans were treated to one of their biggest hits “Symphony of Destruction” which turned into a full-arena moment, thousands of voices chanting in unison.
For two hours, Megadeth revisited decades of material with clarity and precision. If this really is the last run, Abbotsford got to see them exactly how they should be seen: loud and in full command of the chaos.

Jacob Collier Brings It Back to the Room at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre
Jacob Collier traded spectacle for stillness on April 10 at Orpheum Theatre, and the result felt quietly powerful.
The Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist has built a reputation on big, layered productions and dense harmonic worlds. This tour, The Light For Days Tour: A Series Of Solo Performances In Intimate Spaces, flips that idea. Alone onstage with a five-string guitar, piano, and his signature harmonizer, Collier leaned into restraint.
The set drew heavily from his latest album The Light For Days, a project written in just four days using a single instrument. That limitation carried into the live show. Songs felt more focused, more direct. There was still plenty of harmonic colour, but it never tipped into excess. Instead, it landed with warmth.
Collier’s real instrument, though, might be the crowd. True to form, he conducted the audience like a choir, splitting the room into harmonies that echoed through the Orpheum’s ornate interior. It turned a seated theatre into something communal, almost playful.
Opener Marie Dresselhuis set the tone early with a soft, intimate set that matched the evening’s mood, under the strong cheers of the crowd.
For longtime fans who came up on the sprawling Djesse era, this show was more like a reset. For everyone else, it was a reminder that Collier’s core strength is connection.

Calum Scott Brings His ‘Avenoir Tour’ to the Wiltern in Los Angeles
Calum Scott took the Wiltern stage in Los Angeles on April 3rd, 2026, for his Avenoir Tour.
Calum Scott is a British singer-songwriter who first gained attention on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015, where his emotional cover of “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn became a global hit. Known for his powerful vocals and deeply personal songwriting, Scott blends pop with raw, heartfelt storytelling. His music often explores themes of love, identity, and self-acceptance, earning him a dedicated global fanbase and chart success with songs like “You Are The Reason.”
The theatre filled, and by 9 o’clock everyone was ready to dance, laugh, and cry together. The sense of community was in the air as many of the fans related to the vulnerability in Scott‘s music.
He performed a variety of songs from his discography: some new songs and his hits. My favorite moment was his stripped-back set, when he sang “No Matter What,” a song about him coming to terms with who he was. Tears began to fall throughout the crowd. What a meaningful night for music in Los Angeles.
