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.

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.
