The Tea Party, Headstones & Finger Eleven: Three Titans, One Night
Three Canadian rock heavyweights, Finger Eleven, Headstones, and The Tea Party, finally united for a coast-to-coast Canadian run, landing in Winnipeg with a mission: deliver a night built for rock fans without breaking their wallets. With affordable tickets and optional VIP meet-and-greets, this tour was built for the people, and it showed in the energy at Canada Life Centre. The shared tour idea sparked from decades of festival run-ins.
Finger Eleven kicked things off with the high-octane “Adrenaline” before rolling through hits like “Last Night on Earth,” “Slow Chemical,” and “Living in a Dream.” Rick Jackett looked straight-up possessed by his guitar, spinning and tapping it like he was showing off magic tricks. They wrapped with fan-favourite “Paralyzer,” leaving the crowd warmed up and hungry for more.
Headstones stormed the stage next. Hugh Dillon barely stayed on it as he spent half the time singing in the crowd like the world’s loudest ringleader. The arena screamed back on “Something Stands for Nothing” and “An Effort to Forget,” fists up and voices out. Their encore, “Smile & Wave,” was pure mischief and sweat.
The Tea Party, all the way from Windsor, closed the night. Opening with “Writing on the Wall,” they reminded everyone why they’ve held their ground since 1990. Jeff Martin’s pitch-perfect vocals, Jeff Burrows’ sharpened drum work, and Stuart Chatwood’s clean bass and synth lines turned songs like “The Messenger,” “Temptation,” and “Save Me” into booming arena moments.
Fans left with ringing ears, sore voices, and the sense that this overdue reunion of bands was worth it. Scott Anderson called it a “rock lover’s dream,” Dillon hyped a “perfect storm,” and Martin promised it would be worth the wait. Winnipeg got proof they weren’t bluffing.

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.
