Wolf Parade at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On March 14, Canadian indie-rock band Wolf Parade brought their Apologies To The Queen Mary 20th Anniversary Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
Quartet Autogramm opened the night with their synth-driven power-pop/punk sound, and Vancouver byelection candidate Sean Orr introduced the main act.
Wolf Parade rolled into the Vogue Theatre for a night that wasn’t just about nostalgia—it was a celebration of their landmark debut album Apologies to the Queen Mary. With 20 years and countless side projects behind them, they have never been ones to dwell on the past. But for this tour, they made an exception, delivering Apologies in full to a sold-out and very eager Vancouver crowd.
The trio—Dan Boeckner, Spencer Krug, and drummer Arlen Thompson (Hadji Bakara was absent from the tour)—didn’t waste time with long introductions. They launched straight into “You Are a Runner and I Am My Father’s Son,” setting the tone with its jittery urgency.
Playing an album front-to-back can sometimes sap the spontaneity out of a live show, but Apologies proved to be the perfect choice. The album’s pacing translated beautifully to the stage, with each song hitting just as hard as the next. The crowd was right there with them, singing along. Even tracks that have been staples in their setlists for years felt re-energized, as if the band was rediscovering them in real time.
Wolf Parade sounded tighter than ever, their years of experience adding a new depth to the songs without losing their raw, unpolished charm. The encore kept the energy high, dipping into At Mount Zoomer and later albums. The show was a reminder of how consistently great Wolf Parade has been all along.

Epik High Turns Vancouver’s Orpheum Into a Hip-Hop Party
Epik High brought its 3.0 Tour 2026 to Vancouver’s Orpheum on October 20, delivering a night of sharp lyricism, ridiculous humour and plenty of crowd interaction. With BOBO.XX opening the show, the Korean hip-hop trio proved that more than two decades into their career, they still know how to make a concert feel like a party among friends.
BOBO.XX, a musician and photographer who works on Epik High’s video and content, warmed up the audience with a taste of his own sound before handing the stage over to the headliners. Anticipation grew during the break, and the theatre erupted when Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz appeared for “High Technology,” followed by “One.”
The group’s chemistry was clear to everyone. Their introductions quickly turned into a comedy routine, complete with DJ Tukutz’s sound effects and playful jabs at one another. Tablo might be the trio’s longtime leader, but Tukutz had recently claimed the title through a band competition, giving the three plenty of material to work with.
That humour carried through the night. Fan-submitted Post-it challenges put the members on the spot, leading to dance covers, awkwardly adorable aegyo and plenty of laughter. The challenges often involved bending the rules, with multiple notes taped together and presented as a single request. The trio’s willingness to make fools of themselves made the audience feel like part of the show rather than spectators.
The music never took a back seat. Tracks such as “ANTIHERO,” “Rosario” and “BURJ KHALIFA” kept the room moving, with the group’s tight delivery matched by DJ Tukutz’s work behind the turntables. The mood shifted for more emotional performances, including “1 Minute, 1 Second” and Mithra Jin’s solo “Will I Be Okay?,” showing a more vulnerable side to the performers.
The most meaningful moment came when Tablo spoke about the group’s long journey. His message was simple: if Epik High could keep pushing forward after 22 years, fans could overcome their own obstacles, too. It gave “Born Hater” an extra punch.
The trio closed with an encore of “EPIKISM” and “Don’t Hate Me,” sending the crowd home smiling. Epik High’s strength lies in the balance between serious musicianship and complete silliness. They can deliver an emotional message one minute and turn a fan-requested dance challenge into a comedy show the next. At the Orpheum, that combination made for a concert that felt personal, unpredictable and a whole lot of fun.

Buffalo Traffic Jam at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
There is something magical about voices matching the season. The excitement of walking up to the Danforth Music Hall on the perfect autumn night, only to be engulfed in raw, emotive rasp.
Lydia Maes really pulled me in. There’s such an emotional quality to her voice. The way she incorporates the saxophone and the way she hypnotizes the crowd. She played a beautiful set and then later came out with her fiddle, to join Buffalo Traffic Jam.
Colin Lynch completely caught me off guard, with a voice that sounds like he sells out stadiums. He’s young, but that soulful, raspy, depth speaks to every age.
Then came the one and only Buffalo Traffic Jam. Gritty, earthy harmonies took over the Danforth and the crowd was electrified. There’s something about their sound that feels both stripped down and warm at the same time, and the moment they started, we were all at their mercy.
