Still Woozy at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC – Gallery
Still Woozy, also known as Sven Gamsky, kicked off his “Love Seat” tour with two sold out nights at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC on July 17 and 18.
The evening of July 17 started with a fantastic opening set by Gus Dapperton, who warmed up the crowd with his unique blend of dreamy pop and indie rock. His performance set the tone for what was to come, and by the time Still Woozy took the stage, the audience was more than ready to let loose and enjoy.
From the moment Woozy ran out onto the stage adorned with flowery keyboard and giant inflatable flowers, he captivated everyone in the room. His boundless energy and dynamic stage presence were on full display as he danced unpredictably, wiggling his entire body, playing guitar, and singing with passion. It was impressive to witness such a natural performer maintain high energy levels while delivering flawless vocals throughout the set.
One of the highlights of the night was the undeniable chemistry between Still Woozy and his band members. Their interactions on stage were effortless and genuine. This camaraderie translated beautifully into their performance, creating a warm and engaging atmosphere with the crowd.
As the night progressed, Still Woozy treated the audience to a mix of fan favourites and newer tracks from his album Loseseat released less than a month ago, each song met with enthusiastic cheers and dancing, as everyone was grooving and singing along to every beat.
The evening reached its peak with the performance of his hit track “Goodie Bag.” The entire venue erupted in joy, with hands waving in the air and smiles all around. It was the perfect closing to a night that showcased Still Woozy‘s unique blend of quirky, colourful, and bright music.
Still Woozy will be tour across North America all summer, ending in San Diego on October 14th. Head to his website for more info.

Joost Klein Brings World Tour With Chaos and Heart in Vancouver
Fresh off two sets at Coachella 2026 — a historic milestone as the first Dutch-language artist to ever grace that stage — Joost Klein brought his world tour to Vancouver’s Harbour Event & Convention Centre on Monday night. If the Southern California desert crowds were a warm-up, Vancouver got the real thing.
From the opening notes of Ome Robert to a euphoric, arms-in-the-air Europapa, Klein delivered nearly 30 songs worth of controlled chaos. The Frisian artist operates in a genuinely singular space, somewhere between Dutch hardcore, punk fury, and emotionally devastating party music. And the packed room at Harbour centre felt every single frequency. Sweat was basically precipitation by the midpoint of the set.
The mosh pits were, predictably, unhinged. Klein summons that energy. Circle pits tore open during Gabberland and BOOM BOOM!!!!!, and the crowd obliged every invitation. Yet between the mayhem, there were quieter moments. A gorgeous Zonder Jou hushed the room before Klein rebuilt the roof again.
Highlights were abundant: a wild TRAFIK! (his take on Käärijä’s banger), and an abridged Friesenjung that turned into a full remix by the encore.
This is a guy who started as a teenage Dutch YouTuber, got disqualified from Eurovision 2024 for comments that some judged controversial, and somehow ended up headlining a world tour on five continents. Nobody saw it coming, Klein included. The rest of the world better be ready for this tour.
Joost Klein will be on tour in North America, Europe and Australia until December 2026. Head to his website for all the information.

Wheatus Play their Debut Album in Full at The Pearl in Vancouver
On April 13, Wheatus rolled into Vancouver and made a strong case that they’ve outgrown rooms like The Pearl. The show was sold out, shoulder-to-shoulder, and honestly felt like it could’ve filled the Commodore Ballroom across the street without breaking a sweat.
Opening support from Chief State and Brain Bent set the tone early, but once Brendan B. Brown and company hit the stage, the night turned into a loose, fan-driven ride. True to form, the band leaned into spontaneity, pulling from a deep catalogue with help from the crowd, before the show even started. “Leroy,” “Truffles,” and “Wannabe Gangstar” landed fast, while “Hump’Em N’ Dump’Em” slipped in a cheeky nod to Madonna.
Covers were a big part of the night. Their take on Erasure’s “A Little Respect” turned into a full-room singalong, complete with a “My Girl” tag, and “Basket Case” by Green Day brought a jolt of energy mid-set. A Canadian highlight came with “My Music at Work,” a respectful nod to The Tragically Hip that hit especially well with the local crowd, followed later by a heartfelt “Time Stand Still” from Rush.
The deeper cuts, “Lemonade,” “Fourteen,” and “I’d Never Write a Song About You, ”showed the band’s range, balancing humour with real vulnerability. Then came “Teenage Dirtbag.” No surprise, it turned into mass karaoke, with every fan in the room locked in from the first line.
Instead of ending big, they closed small. Brown returned alone for an off-mic acoustic “Desperate Songs,” quiet enough that you could hear the room breathe. It was a simple finish that summed up the night: warm and completely in sync with the crowd.
