Noah Reid at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On Friday night, Noah Reid brought his Live Again Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, and crowd got far more than a “hey, that’s the guy from Schitt’s Creek” moment. Sure, plenty of fans know him as Patrick Brewer, but onstage Reid made it clear he’s not an actor dabbling in music. He’s a songwriter through and through.
The set opened with a short snippet of “Runaway” before sliding into “Left Behind” and “Rivers Underground,” two of his most moving pieces. Reid’s voice carried warmth and clarity, with the kind of lived-in honesty that makes even a theatre feel like a living room. His 2-man band elevated the night, filling songs like “Got You” and “American Roads” with a textured sound that pushed them beyond their recorded versions.
Reid leaned into storytelling as much as songcraft. Between tracks, he joked with the crowd, shared anecdotes about writing in Toronto, and made space for reflective moments that matched the intimacy of songs like “False Alarms” and “Germantown.” The eight-minute sprawl of “Everything’s Fine” closed the main set with a fiery crescendo, leaving the room buzzing.
For the encore, he stripped it all back. Sitting at the piano, Reid offered a heartfelt cover of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You,” a nod to another Canadian great and a fitting way to end the night. It was a moment of quiet awe, the kind that lingers long after the lights come up.
Noah Reid may have first entered the cultural spotlight on television, but Friday proved his music stands firmly on its own. At the Vogue, he was simply an artist, and one well worth seeing.

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.
