Rex Orange County In Vancouver

Rex Orange County In Vancouver was nothing short of magical. Indie hits flowed effortlessly as fans were swept into a euphoric trance, hanging on to every note until the final moment. The English singer-songwriter, Alexander James O’Connor, brought his highly anticipated Finally tour to the iconic Queen Elizabeth Theatre, and we were fortunate enough to witness the opening night of his two sold-out shows. The energy was electric, with every song feeling like a dream came to life. It was an unforgettable night of pure musical bliss.

With no opener and an 8:30 start time, the Vancouver Theatre was already packed an hour before the show, with the merch line stretching up the staircase and nearly filling the second level. Rex Orange County’s magnetic energy drew in a passionate, young crowd buzzing with anticipation. As a newcomer to his music, I could feel the excitement building around me. As the time approached and house lights went down, it was time for Rex Orange County In Vancouver.

One In A Million

The moment the spotlight hit, fans erupted in pure excitement as Rex, wearing a Vancouver Canucks red hat, a crisp dress shirt, tie, and jacket, appeared on stage. Without needing a grand entrance, he captivated the crowd instantly. He kicked off with the opening track “Alexander,” perched on an examination table in a scene straight out of a doctor’s visit, with an actor playing the doctor. The intimate setup was a brilliant introduction to Alex, with all eyes glued to him as the soft, enchanting piano music swirled in the background, pulling everyone deeper into the moment and the song. It was enchanting.

Highlights

The energy skyrocketed as Alex moved through the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, weaving through the crowd and sparking uproarious applause, even stopping to sign a vinyl for a lucky fan. But it wasn’t just his powerhouse vocals and electrifying stage presence that stole the show—his stage set was absolutely mesmerizing. As “Guitar Song” kicked in, the curtains parted, unveiling a stunning, intricate set inspired by a Japanese Minka house, with live band members on each end and a dynamic video backdrop that shifted throughout the night. As a regular at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, I can confidently say this was a set unlike anything I’ve ever seen before—it was a true work of art.

Setlist

The night was a musical journey, packed with twenty incredible tracks, including fan favorites like “THE SHADE,” “Best Friend,” “Sunflower,” and “Television/So Far So Good.” But Rex didn’t stop there—he threw in some thrilling surprises, including a soulful cover of Alicia Keys’ “No One” and a jaw-dropping performance of “If You Want It” from WHO CARES?. Whether you were a die-hard or a new fan, by the end of the night, there was no doubt—you left with a smile and a heart full of memories.

In Conclusion

Rex Orange County In Vancouver Night 1 was an absolute triumph! As the final notes of “Pluto Projector” echoed through the Theatre, fans—many already hoarse from hours of singing—erupted into wild applause, showering Alex with pure love and adoration. The reaction was a testament to Alex’s irresistible charm and musical brilliance, as he poured his heart into every moment on stage. He gave Vancouver an unforgettable experience, one that will be remembered long after the last note faded. It was a night of passion, energy, and sheer magic.
