King Diamond at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver – Gallery

On November 18, Danish rock musician King Diamond brought his Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920 Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.

King Diamond took over the Vogue Theatre, turning it into a gothic playground of metal and theatrics. The stage was a triple-decker masterpiece, and King used every inch of it, constantly moving and commanding attention. Whether he was centre stage or lurking in the shadows, there was always something happening—you didn’t dare look away in case you missed a moment.

The night felt like spending time in Saint Lucifer’s Hospital, with the eerie stage props and actors adding layers to the storytelling. King’s signature falsetto sounded unreal live, cutting through the dense mix of guitars and drums with ease. He gave nothing less than 100%, backed by a stellar band, including longtime guitarist Andy LaRocque.

A couple of new songs, “Spider Lilly” and “Electro Therapy,” were standout additions to a setlist packed with classics like “Abigail” and “Halloween.” The mix of old and new kept the energy fresh and the fans guessing.

The show’s theatrical edge was elevated by guest performers like Amalie Bruun (aka MYRKUR), whose vocals added depth, and dancer Jodi Cachia, whose movements brought extra life to the dark, dramatic vibe. The lighting and effects felt more like a full-blown theatre production than a typical metal gig, with smoke and backlit scenes creating an otherworldly atmosphere.

Overall, it was a killer night. King Diamond delivered everything fans could’ve hoped for—epic music, insane visuals, and that signature creepy flair.

King Diamond will be on tour in North America until December 6 in Dallas, TX. More info here.

Overkill and Night Demon, who we sadly missed, opened the night.
