Tems at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC – Gallery
On September 22, Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems brought her Born In The Wild Tour to a sold out Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
The night started with American singer, Lekan, who performed songs from his debut EP So You Know.
At 9pm, the stage was transformed into grassy plains, creating a vibrant and earthy atmosphere that complemented her music. Tems emerged in a stunning bejeweled blue halter top and matching pants, shimmering as she launched into her set. Supported by a live band and backup singers, she seamlessly blended afrobeats, pop, and R&B, making each song feel alive and fresh.
Tems delivered a fun and high-energy set on her first-ever world tour, captivating the crowd with her dynamic performance. With two EPs and an album full of hits, the Nigerian singer had a rich catalogue of songs to choose from. Her setlist was packed with hits, including fan favourites like “Love Me JeJe” and “Me & U” from her debut album Born in the Wild.
Her stage presence was undeniable—she connected effortlessly with the audience, dancing, twirling, and sparkling, both literally and figuratively. Tems’ energy was contagious, and the crowd couldn’t help but move along to her infectious beats.

The Dreggs close off “Heading Home Tour” in Perth!
Australian duo – The Dreggs – brought their Heading Home Tour to a close with a sold-out show at Metropolis Fremantle in Perth. It was a night full of good vibes, big smiles and plenty of energy, with the crowd giving the band a warm welcome from the very beginning.
The evening kicked off with two support acts, Ella Jones and Betty Taylor Band. Both delivered great sets, bringing plenty of energy to the room and getting the crowd ready for the main event.
When The Dreggs finally took the stage, the atmosphere only got better. The duo moved effortlessly between upbeat tracks like “Stay the Night” and “We Don’t Talk,” and more melancholic moments that gave the show a different, more intimate feel.
There was something special about the whole night. From the first songs to the final moments, the smiles on stage seemed to match those in the crowd. A sold-out venue, great support acts and a band clearly enjoying every second of it – a pretty perfect way for The Dreggs to wrap up their Heading Home Tour!

Olivia O’Brien Brings ‘The Pixie Tour’ to Pacific Electric in Los Angeles
While many people would likely agree with Garfield about hating Mondays, fans at Pacific Electric on Monday, November 2nd, probably disagreed. Eager fans of both Sophie Cates and Olivia O’Brien filled the room. Dressed in fairy wings and princess crowns, the night was guaranteed to be whimsical.
As the clock struck 8:00 pm, the lights began to dim. The crowd screamed as Sophie Cates took the stage. Singing songs from previous albums and from her upcoming album, this would be the first time that Sophie had been on stage in a couple of years. After releasing her debut album, Yikes! in 2019, Cates was later signed to RCA Records. Since then, she has released multiple EPs and her second studio album, “SUPERNOVA.” Sophie joined Olivia O’Brien on her North American tour for her new album, Pixie.
As we waited for Olivia to take the stage, some fans passed around little slips of purple paper. As each member of the crowd received a slip, a message was passed along: “When Icarus comes on, place this piece of paper in front of your camera light.” The sense of community among the fans felt surreal. To most, the purple cardstock creates a cool lighting effect, but to the fans, it creates an emotional atmosphere.
Soon after everyone received their slip of purple paper, Olivia was ready to take the stage. Dressed in her album’s theme, she wore a beautiful slip dress and her iconic pixie wings. O’Brien’s sophomore album, Pixie, is a 15-track record that explores projection and fantasy while confronting the manipulative patterns of past relationships. With questions about self-worth and identity, Olivia acknowledges her past relationship dynamics and struggles with letting go. Pixie also highlights the sense of betrayal and emotional abuse that come from toxic dynamics.
While Pixie may have been written about past relationship struggles and learning to navigate life as a girl in her mid-twenties, Olivia also drew inspiration from her childhood innocence. Stories like Percy Jackson sparked the fascination and curiosity that brought back a piece of childlike wonder.
