Avril Lavigne @ Scotiabank Center in Halifax
Approaching the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax there was no mistaking the crowd heading to the show. Many lined up around the corner eagerly awaiting to get in donned plaid skirts, fishnets, and fingerless gloves. As a twenty-something music lover I grew up listening to Avril and was surprised to see the age range in the crowd of passionate Avril fans.
Thursday night started off with a favorite of mine, The Beaches. The Toronto based rock band brings to the stage with lots of energy, and typically have on flashy outfits you can always count on them for a fast paced set filled with hair flips and high kicks. The crowd who were still mingling around when the set started quickly tried to find their seats once they could hear what they were missing and the arena filled up. The Beaches have a number of summer dates set for 2022 including festivals like Ottawa Bluesfest and Festival d’été de Québec in July, plus their “Future Lovers” tour stars in Toronto in August.
Avril kicked things off with balloons which have been a signature piece of the Bite Me Tour. The crowd took to their feet and kicked off the night with two songs from her new Love Sux album, Cannonball and Bite Me. Shooting off confetti and releasing large balloons, the audience was loving the show. The energy really kicked up when she jumped into throwbacks like What the Hell from her Goodbye Lullaby album. The show was high energy, filled with a balance of nostalgia and throwbacks with lots of new songs (2022 marks the 20 year anniversary of Avril’s Let Go album which has a number of well known hits including Sk8r Boi and Complicated).
This was the last stop on this leg of Avril’s Bite Me Tour, but she has more dates scheduled throughout the summer including Madison Square Garden in NYC Jun 28th and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on July 6th. Avril will be touring well into 2023 globally and her full tour schedule can be found HERE.

Platinum selling and Grammy Award winning musician Bryan Adams returns to Canada for a colossal coast-to-coast Canadian tour, in support of his 15th studio album, released in March 2022, aptly titled So Happy It Hurts.
Thursday night brought a full crowd to the Rebecca Cohn Theater on Dalhousie University’s campus. A long time coming, and after two cancellations, this show’s original opening act was replaced by Manitoba’s Field Guide who filled the room with his music that told stories of late nights out with friends and lost relationships.

Bahamas started their set with an unexpected, but highly appropriate, in-flight captain’s message informing the passengers (audience). He outlined expected flight time and general show conditions and how the flight would not run longer than expected indicating that no encore would be happening. A fitting start to a show that followed such a turbulent path to finally land on a mid-May three-night Still Sad Tour Series at the Rebecca Cohn. Originally scheduled for January, and then rescheduled for April, good things are worth the wait and the masked up crowd was happy to finally hear the show they had waited for.
Alfie Jurvanen, the Canadian singer-songwriter Originally from Barrie Ontario, Alfie talked candidly about life on the East Coast. Even though he looked much different than the last time I saw him play on the Earth Tones tour at the National Arts Center in Ottawa, he sounded exactly as I remembered with his catchy beats and lyrics filled with stories. The music provides a calming fun environment where audience members swayed and excitedly pulled out phones to capture and share their favorite songs.
Bahamas’ Still Sad Tour is the tour for the album Sad Hunk which was released in the Fall of 2020. Bahamas will take to the road playing multiple shows and summer festivals in Canada and the US. The full list of upcoming dates is available HERE. Bahamas also has a pre-sale on for a Live to Tap 12′ vinyl available HERE.
