The Concert Goers

We're going back into the Concert Goer archives as we break down Hozier's Unreal Unearth Tour. He's part of this year's Osheaga Music Festival lineup and he's not to be missed live. Plus, he's just released a song with Noah Kahan who's also performing at Osheaga. We aren't saying that they're going to perform together but...

Nathaniel Rateliff’s robust and soulful voice. Dallas Green's equally soulful and soothing voice. At first, it seemed like an odd combo for a co-headlining tour, and we can't *really* explain why it worked, but it just did. Jess saw the show in Vancouver, and G saw it in Montreal. We're breaking down both tour dates and making some shocking confessions.

She's an icon, but does Madonna still have it live? The short answer: YES. The Celebration Tour is an autobiographical tour that's packed with hits and a MUST for any fan.

A hometown hero performing a hometown show, what more could you ask for? Macklemore's Ben Tour wrapped up in Seattle, and the show was nothing short of a love letter to the city he loves.

It's that time of year! As the year wraps up, we take a look back at our favourite concerts of the year, the ones we're most looking forward to in 2024, and share our hopes for future tour announcements.

Mariah Carey is the undisputed Queen of Christmas, so why not cash in on it? Her Merry Christmas One and All! Tour is exactly what you'd expect it to be - glitz, glam, and the perfect way to get into the spirit of the season.

Odd. Eclectic. Cinematic. Mesmerizing. This is The 1975. To see them perform live is to finally understand what this band is about. It's not just a concert; it's piece of performance art within a concert, and it was unbelievable.

Just can't get enough of Depeche Mode? Neither can Montreal. We break down the band's Memento Mori Tour - the first without keyboardist Andy Fletcher - and talk about why Montreal has such a deep love affair with the band.

Punk-like scrappiness, glitz, and radio hits. That perfectly sums up Rod Stewart and Cheap Trick's 2023 North American Tour as both acts proved their powerhouse status. We break down the tour, the setlist and share another weird fan story.

Bob Dylan is a legend. He's also notorious for not really caring much about his fans and for leaving his greatest hits off of his setlist. So why do people keep paying money to see him? That's what we attempt to break down on this episode.

We don't want to push you around, but give this episode a listen if you want a healthy dose of 90s nostalgia. Matchbox Twenty may be reluctant rock stars but their music stands the test of time and their live shows are not to be missed.

When Pitbull, Enrique and Ricky Martin combine forces, only one thing can happen: a wild party from beginning to end. That's exactly what The Trilogy Tour is, and we discuss the order of the performers, the songs they played, and which songs they should have played.

Metal fans are some of the most loyal fans on the planet. Metallica fans take that to a whole other level; they've become the band's extended family. G attended the M72 World Tour No Repeat Weekend at the Olympic Stadium and we chat about the staying power of the greatest metal band around.

Shania Twain is the undisputed Queen of Country Music in Canada. She single handedly and inadvertently turned the words 'Let's Go Girls' into the biggest motivational line of all time, and we're taking a look at her Queen of Me Tour on this episode.

We've waited a long time to put this episode together. Jess got to see The Boss live in concert for the first time ever and talks about what it meant to be at that show. *This episode was recorded before Bruce Springsteen postponed the rest of his 2023 shows

Foo Fighters are one of - if not the - biggest rock band on the planet, and for night only in July 2023 they played to a sold-out crowd in a 4,000+ auditorium in Verdun, QC. Tickets were almost impossible to get, but our very own G managed to get his hands on a ticket and be at the show. He takes us through that special surprise show.

Annoyed by how difficult it's become to buy concert tickets? The Concert Goers air their grievances about the ticket-buying process, and share useful tips on how to score tickets to see your favourite artists.

Surprise! A bonus episode where we have a little bit of fun talking about our dream festival lineups.

Elton John has performed his last-ever concerts in Canada, and both G and Jess were at those last shows to say farewell one more time.

Lizzo might just be the most genuine artist out there these days. Not only is she an amazingly talented singer, rapper and flutist, she is also a terrific role model to all those that look up to here. On this episode, Jess goes out of her comfort zone and talks about how seeing Lizzo live has turned her into a lifelong fan.
