One Ok Rock Kickoff Detox Tour in Vancouver
One OK Rock kicked off their North American Detox tour with a bang in Vancouver, playing to a loud and loyal crowd at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on May 13. The Japanese rock powerhouse is celebrating 20 years as a band, and their new album (their 11th!) shows they’re nowhere near slowing down. If anything, they’ve doubled down on their global sound: big riffs, emotional hooks, and that signature blend of Western alt-rock influences with their own polished edge.
The night started strong with Aussie pop-punk outfit Stand Atlantic, who brought high energy getting the crowd jumping early. But the minute the blue flag of the Detox album appeared on screen and One OK Rock launched into “Puppets Can’t Control You, the mood shifted from warm-up to full-on frenzy.
Takahiro Moriuchi’s vocals were razor-sharp as usual. He climbed down from the stage and sang through the crowd mid-show. Later, the band brought a few fans and a Canadian flag onstage, waving a Canadian flag.
The setlist was a tight mix of new and old, with emotional highs on “The Beginning” and “Renegades,” and wild chaos on “NASTY” and “Dystopia.” By the time they closed with We Are, the crowd was sweaty, smiling, and ready to follow the tour to its next stop.

Goose Brings their ‘Summer Tour’ to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Goose brought their 2026 Summer Tour to Vancouver on Tuesday night, turning the Commodore Ballroom into a sweaty, late-night dance party that stretched well past 11 p.m.
The Connecticut-based quartet — Rick Mitarotonda, Peter Anspach, Trevor Weekz and drummer Cotter Ellis — has built a reputation for letting songs breathe onstage, and Vancouver got the full treatment. The band played two sets and an encore, giving the crowd plenty of room to settle into the grooves and watch the songs take unexpected turns.
The first set opened with “Yeti” before moving through “All I Need,” “Turbulence & The Night Rays” and “Time to Flee.” “Everything Must Go” kept things moving before “Hungersite” closed the set with one of the night’s bigger stretches of improvisation.
After a break, Goose returned and launched into “Electric Avenue,” a crowd-pleasing choice that had the Commodore singing along.
There was little interest in rushing through the evening. Goose gave each section space, moving from tight grooves to loose instrumental passages without making the show feel like a collection of extended solos.
For a band coming off a European run and heading into some of its biggest U.S. shows, Vancouver felt like another strong stop on the way. The Commodore may be a much smaller room than Madison Square Garden or SPAC, but Goose seemed perfectly happy to stretch out inside it.

Chance The Rapper Brings ‘Coloring Book 10 Year Anniversary Tour’ to Montreal at MTelus
After 10 years since its release, Chance the Rapper is back on tour to celebrate his album Coloring Book! With Montreal being the 4th stop on the tour, many fans packed into Montreal’s MTELUS on August 15th, 2026, with no idea of what to expect.
First, the audience was thrilled by an energetic and upbeat performance by opener La Reezy. His quick lyrics and heavy instrumentals had no trouble in setting the tone for the night, specifically during “Gold Chains,” and with stellar crowd engagement during “We Live.”
Then, Chance the Rapper took the stage! With Coloring Book being such a staple in 2016, especially in the rap community, it is a daunting task to bring that nostalgic energy back on stage. But, with a 24-song setlist, Chance does just that. Unsurprisingly, half the setlist features songs from Coloring Book, with the set opening with “All We Got,” and closing with “Same Drugs,” featuring a confetti-filled performance of “No Problem” in the middle. However, Chance doesn’t shy away from performing a few hits from his other albums as well, such as “Link Me In The Future” from STAR LINE, and some older work in Acid Rap.
Overall, there is something powerful about hearing these songs a decade later. The themes stay the same, yet as both the artist and audience grow, there’s new meanings and emotions to be found in the lyrics. The anniversary show felt like a reunion for those who grew up with Coloring Book, and that’s what ultimately makes this tour a success.
