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.

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.

Epik High Turns Vancouver’s Orpheum Into a Hip-Hop Party
Epik High brought its 3.0 Tour 2026 to Vancouver’s Orpheum on October 20, delivering a night of sharp lyricism, ridiculous humour and plenty of crowd interaction. With BOBO.XX opening the show, the Korean hip-hop trio proved that more than two decades into their career, they still know how to make a concert feel like a party among friends.
BOBO.XX, a musician and photographer who works on Epik High’s video and content, warmed up the audience with a taste of his own sound before handing the stage over to the headliners. Anticipation grew during the break, and the theatre erupted when Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz appeared for “High Technology,” followed by “One.”
The group’s chemistry was clear to everyone. Their introductions quickly turned into a comedy routine, complete with DJ Tukutz’s sound effects and playful jabs at one another. Tablo might be the trio’s longtime leader, but Tukutz had recently claimed the title through a band competition, giving the three plenty of material to work with.
That humour carried through the night. Fan-submitted Post-it challenges put the members on the spot, leading to dance covers, awkwardly adorable aegyo and plenty of laughter. The challenges often involved bending the rules, with multiple notes taped together and presented as a single request. The trio’s willingness to make fools of themselves made the audience feel like part of the show rather than spectators.
The music never took a back seat. Tracks such as “ANTIHERO,” “Rosario” and “BURJ KHALIFA” kept the room moving, with the group’s tight delivery matched by DJ Tukutz’s work behind the turntables. The mood shifted for more emotional performances, including “1 Minute, 1 Second” and Mithra Jin’s solo “Will I Be Okay?,” showing a more vulnerable side to the performers.
The most meaningful moment came when Tablo spoke about the group’s long journey. His message was simple: if Epik High could keep pushing forward after 22 years, fans could overcome their own obstacles, too. It gave “Born Hater” an extra punch.
The trio closed with an encore of “EPIKISM” and “Don’t Hate Me,” sending the crowd home smiling. Epik High’s strength lies in the balance between serious musicianship and complete silliness. They can deliver an emotional message one minute and turn a fan-requested dance challenge into a comedy show the next. At the Orpheum, that combination made for a concert that felt personal, unpredictable and a whole lot of fun.
