Kicking off the night, Archers proved they are no strangers to Montreal. The Madison, Wisconsin metalcore outfit took command of a packed L’Olympia and quickly made it clear they were a force to be reckoned with.
Nothing More in Montréal
Nothing More Sell Out L’Olympia in Montreal for a Night of Pure Alternative Metal Energy
Montreal’s iconic L’Olympia was completely sold out as Nothing More brought their explosive live show to the city. With support from Archers and Catch Your Breath, the evening delivered relentless energy, soaring vocals, crushing breakdowns, and an unforgettable connection between the bands and the crowd. From the first note to the final encore, this was a showcase of modern rock and metal at its finest.
Archers Ignite the Crowd Early
Their latest single, “The Dirt,” released January 30th, 2026, translated powerfully to the live setting. One of the standout elements of their set was the shared vocal dynamic between the vocalist and bassist. The interplay added depth and intensity, elevating each chorus and breakdown. Every band member brought undeniable energy, feeding off the crowd and setting the tone for the rest of the evening.
Catch Your Breath Deliver Must-See Performance
Next up, Catch Your Breath brought their Austin, Texas sound to Montreal with a set that felt both polished and emotionally charged. Frontman Josh Mowery showcased remarkable versatility, effortlessly switching from sky-high clean vocals to deep, resonant growls.
The crowd reaction spoke volumes — especially in the front row, where fans sang along word for word. Their February 20th release, “Pretty When You Break,” featuring rapper Ekoh, has clearly resonated with listeners. Live, the band’s chemistry and stage presence solidified them as a must-see act if they roll through your city.
Nothing More Command the Stage with Theatrical Brilliance
Headliners Nothing More transformed L’Olympia into a theatrical spectacle. The San Antonio alternative metal band delivered a performance that felt larger than life.
Vocalist Jonny Hawkins possesses one of the most impressive male voices in modern rock. His control, range, and power were on full display throughout the night. Known for performing shirtless and often covered in paint, Hawkins added a raw visual intensity to the show — but it was his voice that truly stole the spotlight.
In a moment that electrified the room, Hawkins stepped down into the barrier to sing directly with fans. Crowd surfers poured toward the front, some blowing kisses as they reached the stage. The band’s fusion of heavy metal riffs with electronic elements and synth textures created a dynamic soundscape that translated perfectly live.
With three Grammy nominations under their belt and the release of their October 2025 EP “We’re In This Together,” Nothing More demonstrated exactly why they remain one of alternative metal’s most compelling live acts.
A Sold-Out Night to Remember
From Archers’ explosive opener to Catch Your Breath’s vocal mastery and Nothing More’s theatrical finale, Montreal witnessed a stacked lineup firing on all cylinders. L’Olympia pulsed with energy, unity, and pure live music adrenaline. If this tour stops in your city, don’t miss it.
