On November 20, iconic Cantopop duo from Hong Kong, Twins, brought their Twins Spirit Live Around The World Tour to the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver, BC.

Twins, aka Charlene Choi (蔡卓妍) and Gillian Chung (鍾欣潼), have been a cornerstone of Cantopop since their debut in 2001. Originally formed by Emperor Entertainment Group, the duo quickly rose to prominence with their infectious melodies and relatable lyrics, becoming Hong Kong’s leading girl group. Over the years, their fame transcended borders, earning them a devoted fan base across Asia, North America, and beyond.

Twins’ musical journey, which began with youthful pop anthems that resonated with teenagers, has evolved into a more sophisticated sound, appealing to listeners of all ages. With an impressive discography that includes 12 Cantonese albums, 4 Mandarin albums, and countless chart-topping singles, the duo has consistently dominated the charts while capturing the hearts of millions. Their enduring charisma and heartfelt performances have cemented their legacy as one of Cantopop’s most iconic acts.

On this stop of their Twins Spirit Live Around The World Tour, the celebrated duo invited fans to relive the magic of their two-decade-long career. From nostalgic hits to tracks that defined their more mature sound, the concert was a tribute to their lasting bond and the memories they’ve created with fans around the globe.

Joost Klein Brings World Tour With Chaos and Heart in Vancouver

Joost Klein

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

Published

Wheatus

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.
