Enter Shikari in Montreal

This week, Monday didn’t feel quite the same as Enter Shikari made their triumphant return to the Beanfield Theatre in Montreal, accompanied by You Me At Six and Yours Truly. It was a night filled with great music and nostalgia.

Yours Truly

I’ve been listening to the Australian pop-punk band Yours Truly for a couple of years now as part of my regular music rotation. Seeing them live added a whole new flavor to the experience. Fun fact: in high school, I was actually in a pop-punk band also called “Yours Truly,” which I found hilarious when I first discovered them.
The trio did a fantastic job warming up the crowd for the two heavy hitters to come. Vocalist Mikaila Delgado radiated passion, dancing around the stage and engaging the audience with ease. Performing hits like “Walk Over My Grave,” they received an enthusiastic response from the crowd, proving they were more than just an opening act.

You Me At Six

Seeing You Me At Six was an extra special treat for Montreal, especially with the recent news of their disbandment in 2025. The seasoned English legends brought immense energy and heartfelt love for the city. Their iconic burning logo displayed on the screens heightened the atmosphere, making their set even more memorable.
The crowd’s energy was palpable, with fans singing along to every word and even starting to mosh—a testament to the lasting impact You Me At Six has had over the past 20 years. If this truly was their final Montreal performance, it was a sendoff worthy of their legacy.

As the lights dimmed, a single spotlight illuminated the balcony above, where vocalist Rou Reynolds stood reciting their spoken word piece, “System.” The audience joined in, echoing the words with him. As the rest of the band took the stage, the crowd erupted in cheers, and Rou made his way back down through the venue to start the set.
The entire experience was surreal—more than I could have ever anticipated from such a legendary band. Playing in Montreal for the first time since 2018, Enter Shikari showcased how their sound has evolved, with older hits like “Sorry You’re Not a Winner” transporting fans back to their roots. Meanwhile, Rou’s solo moments and impressive stage antics made the night unforgettable.

Conclusion

All in all, it was a fantastic evening. Seeing two legendary bands with the added treat of a rising pop-punk act like Yours Truly showed that the emo/pop-punk scenes are alive, well, and thriving—and I couldn’t be happier about it.
