his record five-show run in the city\u2019s biggest stadium<\/a>. <\/p>\nInstead, fellow American Malcolm Todd was the guy packing an arena, located six kilometres east of BC Place.<\/p>\n
The PNE Forum is where 3,900 fans of Todd\u2019s genre-blending mix of sweet R&B and \u201cbedroom\u201d pop gathered to see and hear the man perform months after the June release of his Do That Again album.<\/p>\n
Judging by Sunday\u2019s packed show and reverential fan reaction, Todd will one day climb the ladder to play a much larger venue here.<\/p>\n
Tickets had vanished the second they dropped last spring, leaving desperate fans hunting for passes on a warm mid-October night, right up until show time at the East Van arena.<\/p>\n
Concert-opener 54 Ultra set the tone with a high-octane set that turned the floor into a sweaty pit. <\/p>\n
By the time Todd walked on stage, the room was a pressure-cooker, and the L.A. native instantly backed up the hype. Todd isn\u2019t just an internet phenom hiding behind backing tracks, he\u2019s a legit multi-instrumentalist, fingering guitar, bass and keys with little effort but big results.<\/p>\n
Soon enough, when the heavy bass of \u201cRoommates\u201d and \u201cBleed\u201d dropped, the Forum was bouncing.<\/p>\n
Catching an artist with this kind of momentum in a room this compact feels like getting away with robbery. Three years ago, before he introduced himself with his 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy, Todd had never played a show. Today, he\u2019s moved more than 100,000 tickets across three continents.<\/p>\n
