Niko Moon at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Niko Moon @ Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC – May 3, 2025
If you showed up to Niko Moon’s These Are The Nights Vancouver tour stop hoping for a little sunshine in your soul, you probably left glowing. The Texas-born country pop singer, best known for his chart-topping hit Good Time, brought an infectious joy to the Commodore Ballroom that felt like a backyard party with a few hundred new best friends.
Canadian singer-songwriter Kalsey Kulyk opened the night with her warm voice and heartfelt songwriting, pulling the early crowd in with ease. She’s got a quiet strength that hit hardest during this acoustic set. One to keep an eye on!
Then came Niko Moon, dressed in his usual beachy getup and that giant, signature grin. He launched right into Night’s Still Young, bouncing around the stage. That energy never let up. Tracks like Paradise to Me, Head Above the Water, and No Sad Songs had the whole crowd singing and swaying like it was the middle of July.
His cover of Homegrown, a Zac Brown Band track he helped write, was a smart nod to his roots and a crowd favourite. By the time he closed with Good Time, the room was one big, sweaty, smiling dance floor.
Niko Moon delivered feel-good country magic that magic, and if you want some of it, head to his website for all the info on where he’ll be next!

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.
