The Devil Wears Prada at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Yesterday, metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada brought their ‘Metalcore Spring Break’ Tour to Vancouver, and hit the Commodore Ballroom like a wrecking ball.
Kingdom of Giants were supposed to open but couldn’t make it. But both opening bands Acres and Erra stepped up and got the crowd primed. Their sets were tight, technical, heavy, and somehow still dreamy at times. But once TDWP took the stage, it was full chaos from the jump.
They opened with “Mammoth” and it was off to the races. Mike Hranica and Jeremy DePoyster still have that wild chemistry, screams and clean vocals slamming together in a way that just hits different live.
The setlist was a perfect mix of old and new: deep cuts like “Dez Moines” and “Escape” for the OG fans, and newer stuff like “Salt” and “Sacrifice” that kept the energy up. “Chemical” gave everyone a second to breathe, but not really, as the whole room was still buzzing.
The mosh pits were big, the crowdsurfers came nonstop, and by the end of “Hey John, What’s Your Name Again?” the place looked like it had been through a hurricane. TDWP showed they’re still one of the best live bands in metalcore: no frills, just power.
The Devil Wears Prada will on their Metalcore Spring Break’ Tour until Mid-May so grab your tickets now. More info on the band’s website.

The Scratch Bring ‘Pull Like A Dog’ World Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Irish folk-metal chaos took over the Commodore Ballroom on May 22 as The Scratch delivered one of the loudest and most relentlessly energetic sets the venue has seen this year.
Fresh off the release of their third album, Pull Like A Dog, the Dublin four-piece arrived in Vancouver with the kind of reputation that makes people show up early and brace themselves for impact. Within seconds of opener “Pullin’ Teeth,” the floor split open into a swirling pit that barely stopped moving for the next hour and a half. The band’s mix of heavy riffs, acoustic guitars, trad Irish melodies, and raw punk intensity totally worked live.
Frontman and percussionist Daniel Lang spent most of the night perched on his battered cajón at centre stage, hammering away while barking vocals back at the crowd. Around him, guitarists Conor Dockery and Gary Regan and bassist Cathal McKenna pushed the room into full pub-session-meets-hardcore-show territory.
Tracks like “Pull Like A Dog,” “Cheeky Bastard,” and “Another Round” were highlights, turning the Commodore into a wall of jumping bodies. Yet the night wasn’t all chaos. A quieter run through Christy Moore’s “Joxer Goes to Stuttgart” and Dominic Behan’s “McAlpine’s Fusiliers” highlighted the band’s deep connection to Irish folk storytelling, giving the set some emotional weight beneath all the sweat and noise.
By the encore, which included a ripping cover of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades,” the room looked completely spent. The Scratch created the feeling that the entire room was in on something together, somewhere between a punk show and a pub singalong.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to MTelus in Montreal
On May 19th, 2026, fans packed into MTELUS for the Montreal stop of Good Kid’s Can We Hang Out? tour. This is the second headline show the band has had in Montreal, the first being at Le Studio TD for their This Can’t Be The End tour.
First up was an opening performance by Glitter Party, which faced no difficulty in setting the tone for the night. A set filled with colourful lights, movement, and captivating vocals, matched well with Good Kid’s style, both in performance and music, leaving fans bouncing in anticipation for the main act.
After a charming reading of a couple pages from “The Hobbit” by lead vocalist Nick Frosst as the stage was being set up, the band began the set, opening with “Wall”. Immediately, there was no doubt that this would be a night to remember. The band came out in style, and the energy built up instantly through flashing lights, jumps and head-bangs.
Being from Toronto, the band earned laughs as they expressed they were happy to be back in
Canada after touring in the US, and had the crowd erupting in cheers as they congratulated the city on the Montreal Canadiens hockey win the night before.
The night continued with back-to-back hits, including “Cicada”, “Summer”, of course, “From The Start”, and finally closing the set with “Mimi’s Delivery Service”.
Good Kid sets an incredible standard of immersing a crowd in their world, from an elaborate stage design, beautiful merch that matches their aesthetic, to lots of crowd involvement including a wave of death and lots of crowd surfing! Although for many, Good Kid was not their first concert, it is very safe to say it was one of their favourites!
