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.

Jungle Bring Their World Tour to Accor Arena in Paris
Last Friday, Jungle kicked off the night in Paris to the sound of “Smile”, opening the show in front of a crowd ready to celebrate.
Their signature basslines swept through the venue, making every one of the 20,000 souls packed inside vibrate. It is hard to find the words for what makes Jungle so magical, other than the spell cast by a sound that blends electronic, reggae and hip-hop influences, one that gives you goosebumps and sets your body in motion. Simply put, it is impossible to hear their music without dancing, smiling and feeling good.
Fast tempos, intricate rhythms and heavy basslines are the usual shorthand for their sound, but live, it becomes something more. Every song carried a touch of magic that no description quite captures, turning the arena into one giant dancefloor.
These photos try to capture what words can’t, a night where Jungle turned an arena into a shared celebration, and where the music did all the talking.

Marianas Trench Pack History Ottawa, With Fionn Opening
Vancouver acts on both ends of the bill. Fionn opened and Marianas Trench headlined at History Ottawa on October 24, 2026.
Fionn, a pair of twins, had a room that was already nearly full by the time they hit the stage, which isn’t always a given for an opener. They made the most of it with a high-energy set that never let up, and with the two working well together, and feeding off each other’s energy. They were rocking out the whole way through, and it set the tone for the night.
Marianas Trench took the stage to a crowd that was loud from the start and sang along throughout, often seeming to carry the songs as much as the band did.
The set covered a wide range of their discography, from newer hits like “Down to You” to older fan favourites like “Stutter” and “Cross My Heart.” Longtime fans and newer ones got their moments, and the crowd knew every word either way.
Frontman Josh Ramsey, on lead vocals and guitar, controlled the room from start to finish. He was engaging and constantly connected with the audience, and his vocals were fantastic. Midway through the night he left the stage and walked through the crowd, a staple of his at many shows. It brought him face to face with the fans singing back at him, a moment I’m sure they’ll never forget.
It was a strong night for Vancouver music in Ottawa: an opener that came to play and a headliner that had the whole room with them.
