Silverstein Hits Winnipeg on the ’25 Years of Noise Tour’
Silverstein’s 25 Years of Noise Tour hit Winnipeg’s Burton Cummings Theatre on November 23, delivering a multi-generational lineup that felt like a reminder of how loud, messy, and emotionally loaded this scene still is. With Bloom, Free Throw, and Thursday setting up the night, the show moved with the urgency of a band refusing to slow down, even after a quarter-century.
Australia’s Bloom opened with the confidence of a band quickly climbing the hardcore ladder. Their set leaned into fan favourites like “Forget Me Not” and “Out of Reach,” instantly locking the crowd into high gear. If anyone walked into the venue tired, Bloom shook that out within the first five minutes.
Free Throw followed with their trademark blend of self-aware chaos and catharsis. By the time “Two Beers In” dropped, the entire room was singing like it had been waiting all week for that one moment. “Tongue Tied” carried the same emotional weight, a reminder that Free Throw’s appeal lies in turning vulnerability into something loud and communal
Thursday, one of the most influential post-hardcore bands of the early 2000s, stepped up next. “Understanding in a Car Crash” and “Standing on the Edge of Summer” sounded as sharp as they did two decades ago, proof that Geoff Rickly’s voice still knows exactly where to land. When the band finished, a good chunk of the crowd immediately demanded “once more,” which tells you everything about the grip Thursday still has.
Then came the main event. Before Silverstein even touched their instruments, the theatre went dark as a montage rolled through the band’s 25-year history, grainy tour footage, cramped vans, early recordings, and flashes of the band aging alongside the scene they helped shape. It wasn’t subtle, but it didn’t need to be. It worked.
Silverstein opened hard, with “Negative Space”. “You Gotta Stay Positive” turned into a breakout moment despite its brevity. The band played like they had something to prove. Not in desperation, but with the energy of a group that still enjoys being loud together.
The encore sealed it: “My Heroine,” “Smashed Into Pieces,” and “Bleed No More.” The crowd belted every word, creating one of those closing moments that feels less like a sing-along and more like a collective release.
Twenty-five years in, Silverstein isn’t coasting on nostalgia. They’re staging a reminder to Winnipeg and everyone else that the noise still matters.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On May 10th, Canadian indie rock band Good Kid brought their Can We Hang Out? Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver. The Toronto-born group, known for their high-energy performances and catchy melodies, kept the Vancouver crowd going all night long with their quirky personalities and interactions with the crowd.
The band is touring in support of their first full-length studio album, Can We Hang Out Sometime? — A bright, energetic indie rock record about the importance of staying connected when life feels chaotic.
Good Kid took to the stage around 9:00 pm, previewing the fresh sounds of Can We Hang Out Sometime? Opening with the catchy “Wall”. Instantly, the band had the crowd at their fingertips, singing along to every single lyric and getting the whole venue jumping up and down.
The Toronto group have built one of the strongest artist–fan relationships in modern indie rock by making their audience feel like an active part of the band’s world rather than just consumers of their music. There is an official Good Kid discord server, and they regularly engage with their fans on social media. They’ve also tapped into the gaming/streaming space, letting people use their music without aggressive copyright enforcement and have made a name for themselves in the Fortnite community.
Through the night, the band ran through their hits like “From the Start”, Mimi’s Delivery Service”, “Cicada”, “Summer” and “Bubbly.”
The show was full of antics with a wall of death, playing basketball with a giant beach ball and hula hoops, and even lead singer Nick Frosst at one point joining the moshpit. With a show of hands, it was about half of the venue’s first concert experience, and Good Kid definitely made it one to remember.
One thing is for sure — anytime Good Kid rolls into town, Vancouver is always down to hang out sometime.

The Midnight Bring ‘Time Machines’ Tour to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver
The Midnight turned the Queen Elizabeth Theatre into a glowing neon escape on May 10 as part of their Time Machines tour. Backed by sweeping synths and plenty of saxophone solos, the duo delivered a warm cinematic show.
By the time The Midnight hit the stage at 8pm, the Quennie was packed with fans spanning multiple generations. What stood out right away was how present everyone seemed. Phones stayed mostly down as the crowd soaked in every synth line, beat drop, and saxophone run.
Tyler Lyle was calm and conversational throughout the night, often encouraging singalongs that the audience happily delivered. The setlist balanced older fan favourites with newer tracks from 2025’s Syndicate. Songs like “Friction,” “Jason” performed with Harlee Case of New Constellations, and “Change Your Heart or Die” gave the show an energetic pulse, while “Los Angeles” and “Vampires” brought out the emotional core that has made the band so beloved in the synthwave world.
Visually, the show leaned into rich blues, purples, and neon pinks without going overboard. The production never distracted from the music itself. Instead, it amplified the feeling that The Midnight creates so well: nostalgia for a place that maybe never existed at all.
By the encore, the crowd was singing every word back as the band closed out a night that felt heartfelt and immersive.
