Porter Robinson at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver
On November 1, American DJ Porter Robinson SMILE! 😀 World Tour brought serious energy and nostalgia to the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver, BC, with a mix of new tracks, throwbacks, and eye-popping visuals.
This tour’s special twist? It’s the first time Porter’s performing with a full band, which gave his set a fresh, fuller sound that hit a different level of intensity.
But before Robinson took the stage, American hyperpop and digicore artist, Ericdoa, opened the night, performing tracks on his three albums COA, Things with Wings, and DOA.
Shortly before 9pm, Porter Robinson kicked things off with “Knock Yourself Out XD” from his latest album, Smile! 😀, transforming the venue into a trippy, neon-lit skyline. The stage was set with a massive pink billboard that doubled as a screen for lyrics and visuals, so everyone could sing along while getting lost in the virtual city. A giant inflatable anime-style cat sat off to the side, adding a playful vibe. During the high-energy track “Russian Roulette,” Robinson had the whole crowd raising their hands just before confetti cannons launched heart-shaped confetti everywhere, in a big, joyful moment.
The show flowed into the Nurture section, where he took us back with hits like “Something Comforting” and “Look at the Sky.” The visuals and colourful lights matched the emotional depth of these tracks, creating a mix of nostalgia and excitement. It was clear Robinson was having a blast on stage, dancing around, and sharing his energy with the crowd.
The third act was all about Worlds, celebrating the album’s 10-year anniversary. Hearing “Sad Machine” and “Divinity” live felt like stepping into a time machine for longtime fans, while new fans got a taste of Robinson’s roots. Just when you thought it might be over, the screen lit up with Rin, the character from the “Shelter” video, drawing a massive cheer. For the final song, Robinson came back out with his signature red and black wings, ending the night with “Cheerleader” as the crowd went wild and confetti rained down again.
This show had something for everyone—whether you’re into EDM, pop, rock, or just love a crazy light show. The Smile! 😀 World Tour was a full-on celebration of Robinson’s career.

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.
