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.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to MTelus in Montreal
On May 19th, 2026, fans packed into MTELUS for the Montreal stop of Good Kid’s Can We Hang Out? tour. This is the second headline show the band has had in Montreal, the first being at Le Studio TD for their This Can’t Be The End tour.
First up was an opening performance by Glitter Party, which faced no difficulty in setting the tone for the night. A set filled with colourful lights, movement, and captivating vocals, matched well with Good Kid’s style, both in performance and music, leaving fans bouncing in anticipation for the main act.
After a charming reading of a couple pages from “The Hobbit” by lead vocalist Nick Frosst as the stage was being set up, the band began the set, opening with “Wall”. Immediately, there was no doubt that this would be a night to remember. The band came out in style, and the energy built up instantly through flashing lights, jumps and head-bangs.
Being from Toronto, the band earned laughs as they expressed they were happy to be back in
Canada after touring in the US, and had the crowd erupting in cheers as they congratulated the city on the Montreal Canadiens hockey win the night before.
The night continued with back-to-back hits, including “Cicada”, “Summer”, of course, “From The Start”, and finally closing the set with “Mimi’s Delivery Service”.
Good Kid sets an incredible standard of immersing a crowd in their world, from an elaborate stage design, beautiful merch that matches their aesthetic, to lots of crowd involvement including a wave of death and lots of crowd surfing! Although for many, Good Kid was not their first concert, it is very safe to say it was one of their favourites!

PETRA Celebrated Their 50th Anniversary in Argentina with the “50th Anniversary World Tour”
Approximately two years after their last visit to the country, PETRA returned to Argentina to celebrate their fifty years as a band with a show at Arena Sur in Buenos Aires on May 16th, as part of their 50th Anniversary World Tour.
The tour, which also serves as the presentation of their new album HOPE, has already visited countries such as Costa Rica and Finland, and will continue through Mexico, Switzerland, and the United States.
Considered one of the most important and influential bands in Christian rock history, PETRA has impacted multiple generations throughout its five decades of career. The band has released more than twenty albums, including studio records, live albums, and compilations, sold nearly ten million copies worldwide, and received four Grammy Awards and ten Dove Awards. They also became the first Christian band inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
During this new era, the group is also presenting HOPE, their twenty-first album and first studio record featuring new songs in more than twenty years. The release includes “Deliver Us,” the lead single inspired by Ephesians 6:12-13 and centered around a message of faith and spiritual strength.
The night at Arena Sur began with a performance by La PaezSystem as the opening act, kicking off an evening marked by rock and faith-based music.
After fifty years of career, PETRA continues to keep alive the legacy that turned them into one of the most recognized bands within Christian rock music.
