The Fray at the Wiltern in Los Angeles
On August 23rd, The Fray brought their How To Save A Life: The 20th Anniversary Tour to The Wiltern in Los Angeles for a completely sold-out show.
The night kicked off with an opening performance from Landon Barker, who has joined The Fray as a special guest for a few shows so far on their tour. Halfway through his set, Landon stunned the audience by bringing out his dad, Travis Barker, to perform a song with him.
The Strike, a pop-rock trio, then took the stage, putting their all into an entertaining and excitement-filled 40-minute performance. There were lots of jumping around and liveliness from this LA-based group, which got fans excited for the rest of the night.
A little after 9pm, the lights dimmed and a single lightbulb dropped down from the ceiling, its warm glow mimicking the album cover of The Fray’s 2005 hit album, How to Save a Life. And then The Fray finally took the stage. Emerging from the shadows, the band started strong by performing “She Is,” the opening track on their debut album. Exhilaration buzzed all throughout the venue as lead singer Joe King, who took on the role after Isaac Slade left the band in 2022, absolutely nailed the vocals. With Dave Welsh on the guitar and Ben Wysocki on the drums, along with a few other background instrumentalists, fans were blown away by the endless talent of The Fray.
After the band left the stage and the overhead lights turned back on, the feeling of nostalgia lingered in the air. The Fray did an incredible job of transporting the crowd back to the early 2000s with their music, leaving everyone with unforgettable memories.

Goose Brings their ‘Summer Tour’ to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Goose brought their 2026 Summer Tour to Vancouver on Tuesday night, turning the Commodore Ballroom into a sweaty, late-night dance party that stretched well past 11 p.m.
The Connecticut-based quartet — Rick Mitarotonda, Peter Anspach, Trevor Weekz and drummer Cotter Ellis — has built a reputation for letting songs breathe onstage, and Vancouver got the full treatment. The band played two sets and an encore, giving the crowd plenty of room to settle into the grooves and watch the songs take unexpected turns.
The first set opened with “Yeti” before moving through “All I Need,” “Turbulence & The Night Rays” and “Time to Flee.” “Everything Must Go” kept things moving before “Hungersite” closed the set with one of the night’s bigger stretches of improvisation.
After a break, Goose returned and launched into “Electric Avenue,” a crowd-pleasing choice that had the Commodore singing along.
There was little interest in rushing through the evening. Goose gave each section space, moving from tight grooves to loose instrumental passages without making the show feel like a collection of extended solos.
For a band coming off a European run and heading into some of its biggest U.S. shows, Vancouver felt like another strong stop on the way. The Commodore may be a much smaller room than Madison Square Garden or SPAC, but Goose seemed perfectly happy to stretch out inside it.

Chance The Rapper Brings ‘Coloring Book 10 Year Anniversary Tour’ to Montreal at MTelus
After 10 years since its release, Chance the Rapper is back on tour to celebrate his album Coloring Book! With Montreal being the 4th stop on the tour, many fans packed into Montreal’s MTELUS on August 15th, 2026, with no idea of what to expect.
First, the audience was thrilled by an energetic and upbeat performance by opener La Reezy. His quick lyrics and heavy instrumentals had no trouble in setting the tone for the night, specifically during “Gold Chains,” and with stellar crowd engagement during “We Live.”
Then, Chance the Rapper took the stage! With Coloring Book being such a staple in 2016, especially in the rap community, it is a daunting task to bring that nostalgic energy back on stage. But, with a 24-song setlist, Chance does just that. Unsurprisingly, half the setlist features songs from Coloring Book, with the set opening with “All We Got,” and closing with “Same Drugs,” featuring a confetti-filled performance of “No Problem” in the middle. However, Chance doesn’t shy away from performing a few hits from his other albums as well, such as “Link Me In The Future” from STAR LINE, and some older work in Acid Rap.
Overall, there is something powerful about hearing these songs a decade later. The themes stay the same, yet as both the artist and audience grow, there’s new meanings and emotions to be found in the lyrics. The anniversary show felt like a reunion for those who grew up with Coloring Book, and that’s what ultimately makes this tour a success.
