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.

Joost Klein Brings World Tour With Chaos and Heart in Vancouver
Fresh off two sets at Coachella 2026 — a historic milestone as the first Dutch-language artist to ever grace that stage — Joost Klein brought his world tour to Vancouver’s Harbour Event & Convention Centre on Monday night. If the Southern California desert crowds were a warm-up, Vancouver got the real thing.
From the opening notes of Ome Robert to a euphoric, arms-in-the-air Europapa, Klein delivered nearly 30 songs worth of controlled chaos. The Frisian artist operates in a genuinely singular space, somewhere between Dutch hardcore, punk fury, and emotionally devastating party music. And the packed room at Harbour centre felt every single frequency. Sweat was basically precipitation by the midpoint of the set.
The mosh pits were, predictably, unhinged. Klein summons that energy. Circle pits tore open during Gabberland and BOOM BOOM!!!!!, and the crowd obliged every invitation. Yet between the mayhem, there were quieter moments. A gorgeous Zonder Jou hushed the room before Klein rebuilt the roof again.
Highlights were abundant: a wild TRAFIK! (his take on Käärijä’s banger), and an abridged Friesenjung that turned into a full remix by the encore.
This is a guy who started as a teenage Dutch YouTuber, got disqualified from Eurovision 2024 for comments that some judged controversial, and somehow ended up headlining a world tour on five continents. Nobody saw it coming, Klein included. The rest of the world better be ready for this tour.
Joost Klein will be on tour in North America, Europe and Australia until December 2026. Head to his website for all the information.

Wheatus Play their Debut Album in Full at The Pearl in Vancouver
On April 13, Wheatus rolled into Vancouver and made a strong case that they’ve outgrown rooms like The Pearl. The show was sold out, shoulder-to-shoulder, and honestly felt like it could’ve filled the Commodore Ballroom across the street without breaking a sweat.
Opening support from Chief State and Brain Bent set the tone early, but once Brendan B. Brown and company hit the stage, the night turned into a loose, fan-driven ride. True to form, the band leaned into spontaneity, pulling from a deep catalogue with help from the crowd, before the show even started. “Leroy,” “Truffles,” and “Wannabe Gangstar” landed fast, while “Hump’Em N’ Dump’Em” slipped in a cheeky nod to Madonna.
Covers were a big part of the night. Their take on Erasure’s “A Little Respect” turned into a full-room singalong, complete with a “My Girl” tag, and “Basket Case” by Green Day brought a jolt of energy mid-set. A Canadian highlight came with “My Music at Work,” a respectful nod to The Tragically Hip that hit especially well with the local crowd, followed later by a heartfelt “Time Stand Still” from Rush.
The deeper cuts, “Lemonade,” “Fourteen,” and “I’d Never Write a Song About You, ”showed the band’s range, balancing humour with real vulnerability. Then came “Teenage Dirtbag.” No surprise, it turned into mass karaoke, with every fan in the room locked in from the first line.
Instead of ending big, they closed small. Brown returned alone for an off-mic acoustic “Desperate Songs,” quiet enough that you could hear the room breathe. It was a simple finish that summed up the night: warm and completely in sync with the crowd.
