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.

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.
