Mt. Joy at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby
On August 19, Mt. Joy brought their 2025 headlining tour to Deer Lake Park in Burnaby, filling the hillside with indie folk-rock jams and good vibes. The Philadelphia-born five-piece, touring in support of their latest record Hope We Have Fun, delivered a set that balanced fresh tracks with fan favourites.
The band split their performance into two sets, giving fans plenty of time to soak in the mix of new material and older tracks. They opened with “Pink Lady” before moving through early standouts like “Jenny Jenkins” and “I’m Your Wreck.” The crowd responded in kind, singing and swaying as the band shifted between slow-burn ballads and extended jams. Jackie Miclau’s keys added a psychedelic shimmer throughout, especially on “Ruins” and “Dirty Love,” while Matt Quinn’s vocals carried both tenderness and grit.
Set two leaned into their 2022 album Orange Blood and this year’s Hope We Have Fun. Songs like “Julia” and “Lucy” drew some of the biggest reactions of the night, with Quinn pausing to speak about friendship and community before “Lucy,” earning loud cheers. A playful snippet of Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away” slipped into “Mt. Joy,” and by the time “Silver Lining” closed the main set, the audience was in full voice.
For the encore, the band pulled a surprise with Wheatus’s “Teenage Dirtbag,” sparking a sing-along, before ending with the fan-favourite “Astrovan.” Mt. Joy has managed to turn Deer Lake Park into one big campfire jam.

Dax Brings ‘The Anger Management Tour’ to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
Dax brought The Anger Management Tour to Vancouver’s Vogue Theatre on November 10, delivering an evening of personal storytelling, emotional rap and music built around the struggles that have shaped his career. Opening the night was Knox Hill, who warmed up the crowd ahead of the Canadian rapper’s headline performance.
Born Daniel Nwosu Jr., Dax has built a sizeable following through social media and a catalogue that blends hip-hop with country influences and deeply personal subject matter. His breakout hit “Dear Alcohol” has amassed hundreds of millions of streams, helping introduce his music to audiences beyond traditional rap circles. Tracks like “To Be A Man” and “Lonely Dirt Road” have further established his reputation for tackling difficult subjects through direct, autobiographical lyrics.
That emotional honesty sits at the centre of The Anger Management Tour. Dax has continued releasing new material in 2026, including “Temptation” and “God, Can You Hear Me?,” keeping his focus on faith, relationships, frustration and personal growth.
The Vancouver show gave fans a chance to connect with an artist whose music often feels more like a conversation than a traditional rap performance. From reflective moments to more intense material, Dax‘s approach puts the lyrics front and centre.

The Dreggs close off “Heading Home Tour” in Perth!
Australian duo – The Dreggs – brought their Heading Home Tour to a close with a sold-out show at Metropolis Fremantle in Perth. It was a night full of good vibes, big smiles and plenty of energy, with the crowd giving the band a warm welcome from the very beginning.
The evening kicked off with two support acts, Ella Jones and Betty Taylor Band. Both delivered great sets, bringing plenty of energy to the room and getting the crowd ready for the main event.
When The Dreggs finally took the stage, the atmosphere only got better. The duo moved effortlessly between upbeat tracks like “Stay the Night” and “We Don’t Talk,” and more melancholic moments that gave the show a different, more intimate feel.
There was something special about the whole night. From the first songs to the final moments, the smiles on stage seemed to match those in the crowd. A sold-out venue, great support acts and a band clearly enjoying every second of it – a pretty perfect way for The Dreggs to wrap up their Heading Home Tour!
