Metric – Rogers Arena – July 30, 2015
Canadian indie pop-rock act, Metric, made a stop in Vancouver, on the Imagine Dragons Smoke + Mirrors Tour. Since the band has sometimes called Vancouver home, they felt comfortable and received a warm welcome when Emily Haines, James Shaw, Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott-Key took to the stage for their 45 minute set.
Running through a fan friendly set including hit singles; Stadium Love, Gold Gun Girls, Help I’m Alive, Synthetica, The Shade and Breathing Underwater. Happily, for the Metric fans they didn’t treat it like a ‘opening’ set and the stage set-up allowed for them to have full effects and lights. Adding in Emily’s costume changes the set reflected the affection they felt for the city and respect they had for their fans.
As the Smoke + Mirrors Tour has wrapped up this weekend, the band continuing touring on their own through Europe this autumn.
