Snow Patrol at the Wiltern in Los Angeles
Finishing up a 2 day stop in Los Angeles at the historic Wiltern Theater, Snow Patrol took the stage opening with 2008’s “Take Back The City,” a rocking anthem that really got the crowd moving inside this historic venue. The band focuses on quality song writing and catchy lyrics instead of huge production to really connect with the audience directly. Most bands hide behind a wall of lighting and effects. Snow Patrol goes straight to their listening fanbase, showing off their song writing chops in what is a 30+ year musical endeavor by a few lads from the University of Dundee.
Going straight into “Chocolate,” from their 2003 album Final Straw, the band is a well polished song writers dream. Mixing ethereal pop rock with indie sensibility, but never losing a feeling that these songs were meant to be in arenas and clubs worldwide. The band took on 2011’s “Called Out In The Dark” off of the album Fallen Empires, at this point their 6th studio album. The band is currently touring behind their 2024 release The Forest Is The Path, their 9th studio album.
Opening the tour in Los Angeles was Sorcha Richardson, a singer songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. Her 3 piece band, including herself on guitars. She’s currently touring the entire world on her 2022 album Smiling Like An Idiot, a dreamy soundscape of low fi indie, folk, and pop. It’s a great primer for those looking to get into Sorcha and her song writing album. It has a polished yet indie bedroom feel.

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.
