Good outdoor fun!
by Freya on 2023-08-28Vance Joys concert was energetic and the sound was amazing at the Deer Lake Park stage. Would have liked a few more food trucks to reduce long lines but the music made up for it!

About
You don't sell over two million copies of your debut album without some serious hard work, and Australian singer/songwriter Vance Joy has never been shy of major elbow grease. When Vance Joy first cut his teeth performing at open mic nights in Melbourne, he was feeding on a diet of artists like The Pogues and Paul Kelly. By 2013 he was ready to introduce the world to his ukulele-led charm 'Riptide', which became an instant global classic. The connection and journey his music was about to have on the world in years to come was an unexpected reward to the young songwriter.
Vance Joy (born James Keogh) consolidated on that first impression with further anthems 'Mess is Mine', 'Georgia' and 'Fire and the Flood'. Those hits all found a home on the 2014's debut 'dream your life away'. Vance Joy spent 2013 and 2014 playing clubs around the world before the album was released which then saw him surface everywhere from singing on the American Idol Season Final to being handpicked to open Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour, festivals from Lollapalooza in Chicago and South America, to Coachella, Splendour in the Grass and the AFL Grand Final. After his successful Sold Out 2016 'Fire and The Flood' North American theatre run, and Australian performances at the Sydney Opera House, Margaret Court Arena and Riverstage he took a well-earned rest.
Come July 2017 - Vance Joy kicked off the campaign for his sophomore album 'Nation of Two' with the lead single 'Lay It On Me' showing it was destined to be another successful album. The track was followed six months later with the album and follow up single 'Saturday Sun', a tune so good that he held up delivering Nation of Two to ensure it made the cut.
The success of 'Nation of Two' saw Vance Joy tour the world throughout 2018 on the 'Nation of Two World Tour' ranging in venues from Arena's across Canada, amphitheatres in North America including the famous Red Rocks, the first Latin American headline shows, theatres across Europe and Arena's across Australia including two sold-out hometown shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. November 2018, the end of the 83 date World Tour, Vance Joy had yet another offer to tour with one of the world's biggest female artists. P!NK extended an offer for Vance Joy to join her European stadium run on her Beautiful Trauma World Tour. Summer 2019 saw Vance Joy and band join her biggest tour to date and enjoy an extensive run of Stadium shows across Europe before taking another well-earned break to work on album number three.
In 2021 Vance Joy returned with 'Missing Piece', the song soon hit x2 Platinum in Australia, #1 at USA Triple A Radio, #2 on the Australian Radio Chart, #2 at the USA and Canada Alternative Radio Chart and won Best Video at the ARIA Awards. Released in June 2022, 'In Our Own Sweet Time', the third album by Vance Joy featured hit single, 'Clarity' which peaked at #3 on the USA Alt Radio Charts. The song spent one week at #1, nine weeks in the Top 5 and eleven weeks in the Top 10 on the Triple A Radio Charts in the US. In Australia, Vance Joy received 5 ARIA Nominations after the album's release including, Best Solo Artist, Best Adult Contemporary Artist, Best Pop Release for Clarity, Song of the Year for Clarity and Best Video for Every Side of You. Winning Best Video for the 2nd year in a row.
With 5 billion streams across all platforms, it's no surprise that listeners all over the world connect to Vance Joys intimate yet anthemic song writing. His lyrics take you on a journey that will reach out and hold you for a delicate moment. Bringing together a unique, charming mix of folk music with pop influences, these songs capture the familiar pulse of everyday experiences in a unique and celebratory manner.

by Trish M. on 2023-02-18FirstOntario Concert Hall - HamiltonThis is my second time seeing Vance Joy in concert and he always delivers an amazing performance! He's one of my favourite musicians, and favourites to watch live. The venue was great and offers a great view of the stage from pretty much anywhere you're sitting. Overall, an amazing experience and can't wait to see Vance Joy again!!

by Erin on 2023-02-15National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaI had a blast, it was a great concert, great music, great opener. the only issue i have is that he played for less than 90 minutes. i expected more, as he has a huge repertoire of songs that are all amazing. overall it was an awesome night though! great venue too!

Rating: 4 out of 5 The music was superb! Setting/length was off
by Charlie Hobart on 2023-02-15National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaWe had an excellent time singing and dancing along to both Vance Joy and the opener, Jack Botts. The music was great, and the small venue (the NAC in Ottawa) was quaint and romantic! HoweverâŠJack Botts played for about an hour, and when Vance Joy finally came on, he didnât interact with the crowd really and also did not play for very long- about an hour and 20 mins. At the end, the NAC turned the lights on and there was no encore. Weird. And a let down, to be honest. Also, the ticket purchasing experience was fine and the tickets were easy to save to our iPhone âwalletsâ and pull up to have scanned at the venue.

by SHB on 2023-02-15National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaVance Joy put on an amazing performance! He sounded incredible. He has such a beautiful voice. The sound in the theatre was great. The band was awesome too. Vance was fun and got the crowd singing and dancing. He was funny too. Brilliant. His opening act was really great too. My 11 year old daughter just loved it, we had fun and a great time overall. We just wish it took much less time to transition from the opening act to the main performer. The NAC staff were great, very helpful. I didn't realize when I bought our tickets that one of the seats was for the disabled as it didn't show this online. I wouldn't have bought the tickets for those seats if I had known. But the staff member brought us a chair for my daughter to sit on.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Love him, always
by Fluff on 2023-02-14MTELUS - MontrealLove, Love, Love him. Never disappoints! I'm not a big lover of the MTelus, though. Being quite small, to see something is either go stand in a line up for 4-5h, or accept that you're going to watch the show on the badly calibrated TV (or badly calibrated cameras).
Rating: 5 out of 5 Amazing Performance!
by Jeremy on 2023-02-14MTELUS - MontrealAmazing show! Vance is a great performer and sounds outstanding live. Selfishly, I wish he would have played more songs but our group loved the show regardless.
Rating: 5 out of 5 A WOW experience

Rating: 3 out of 5 Love his music, and him, but it was just okay
by AC on 2022-07-25Honestly love all of his music and he sang a ton of songs I wanted to hear. But he did not interact with the crowd at all. It seemed quite rushed as well. Also, zero encore or even a chance to wait for one. They turned on ALL of the lights in the arena the second he ended his last song, it was actually kind of awkward. My friend and I and everyone around us were like âoh okay I guess weâre leavingâ. It was so quick. I think a more intimate smaller venue would be better for him!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Terrific singer, fantastic venue
by Leah on 2022-06-14Budweiser Stage - TorontoLoved this venue and this singer. The sound was great, the atmosphere was great. Glad I was in the covered area because it rained for a bit.
