The Strumbellas Bring ‘Into Dust Tour’ to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
The Strumbellas wrapped their 2025 run of the Into Dust Tour at the Commodore Ballroom on December 7.
The Honest Heart Collective opened with grit and heart, easing the crowd in with “11/17.” Their new tracks, “’96 Sunfire” and “Namesake,” hinted at a band about to level up. They got the room ready for the headliner.
The Strumbellas arrived to that energy and pushed it further. “Hanging Out In My Head” and “Salvation” set the tone. Jimmy Chauveau reminded the crowd to leave the outside world behind, and the audience took him up on it. The stage backdrop, wavy white lines and a glowing circular screen, gave the room a dreamy feel, like the band was playing under a shifting sun.
The set blended fan favourites with newer tracks from Burning Bridges Into Dust. Songs like “Hold Me,” “Maybe It’s Me,” and “Sailing” felt bigger live, while stompers like “Shovels & Dirt” and “Greatest Enemy” rattled the old floors.
There were laughs, tenderness in stories shared from the stage, and chants for more violin. The night closed with “We Don’t Know” and their biggest hit “Spirits,” the whole room singing.

PETRA Celebrated Their 50th Anniversary in Argentina with the “50th Anniversary World Tour”
Approximately two years after their last visit to the country, PETRA returned to Argentina to celebrate their fifty years as a band with a show at Arena Sur in Buenos Aires on May 16th, as part of their 50th Anniversary World Tour.
The tour, which also serves as the presentation of their new album HOPE, has already visited countries such as Costa Rica and Finland, and will continue through Mexico, Switzerland, and the United States.
Considered one of the most important and influential bands in Christian rock history, PETRA has impacted multiple generations throughout its five decades of career. The band has released more than twenty albums, including studio records, live albums, and compilations, sold nearly ten million copies worldwide, and received four Grammy Awards and ten Dove Awards. They also became the first Christian band inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
During this new era, the group is also presenting HOPE, their twenty-first album and first studio record featuring new songs in more than twenty years. The release includes “Deliver Us,” the lead single inspired by Ephesians 6:12-13 and centered around a message of faith and spiritual strength.
The night at Arena Sur began with a performance by La PaezSystem as the opening act, kicking off an evening marked by rock and faith-based music.
After fifty years of career, PETRA continues to keep alive the legacy that turned them into one of the most recognized bands within Christian rock music.

Joyce Manor Bring I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
On May 11th, American punk rock band Joyce Manor brought their I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver for a high-energy, jam-packed set.
The punk rock band from Torrance, California, was formed in 2008. Known for their fast, emotionally charged songs and energetic live shows, they became a major influence in modern emo and pop-punk with albums like Never Hungover Again and 40 oz. to Fresno.
Taking the stage at 9:45 pm, Joyce Manor ran through an impressive 24-song set, jumping into hit after hit, with little downtime. The band kept the energy in the room throughout the night, with lots of moshing and crowdsurfing, especially in their hits “Catalina Fight Song”, “Heart Tattoo,” and “Constant Headache.”
Between the mayhem, the band’s songs evoke a deep sense of nostalgia, capturing the feeling of past heartbreak and growing up. Barry Johnson’s emotionally charged vocals, paired with the band’s raw, unfiltered guitar sound, have a way of making you get into your feelings.
The 24-song set allowed Joyce Manor to premiere a lot of their new material from I Used To Go To This Bar, while ripping through some of their biggest hits on cult favourites, Never Hungover Again and Joyce Manor, leaving something for everyone to enjoy.
