Passenger at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver, BC – Gallery
Passenger, the moniker of English singer-songwriter Mike Rosenberg, graced the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver on September 10th, 2024 for the last date of his tour, with a heartfelt and engaging performance that captivated the audience from start to finish.
Indie pop singer-songwriter, SYML aka Brian Leseney Fennell, opened the night with his band. Under the laughs of the crowd, he recounted his afternoon when he showed at the Commodore Ballroom next door instead of the Orpheum.
Shortly after, Passenger appeared on stage with his guitar. Known for his global hit “Let Her Go” and his soulful acoustic sound, Passenger delivered an intimate solo set that proved his ability to hold an audience with nothing more than his voice and trusty guitar.
Passenger‘s show was a mix of music and storytelling, peppered with witty anecdotes and reflections on his journey as an artist. He drew a sizable crowd eager to reconnect with his music. He opened with tracks from his celebrated album All the Little Lights, which marked its tenth anniversary last year. Highlights included an emotional rendition of “Life’s for the Living” and a crowd sing-along of “Let Her Go,” which he humorously reminded everyone was not to be confused with the Frozen song of the same name. True to form, Passenger’s performance went beyond his studio recordings, showcasing a vibrant stage presence and a keen sense of humour.
Passenger‘s set showcased his talent and the power of simplicity. His dynamic guitar work and soulful voice filled the room, while the lighting enhanced the atmosphere. Passenger will continue his tour to Australia, make sure to head to his website for more info.

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.
