Said The Whale 20th Anniversary Tour

Said The Whale marks twenty years on the road with a stop at Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver on April 12, 2026. Built around songwriters Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft, joined by keyboardist Jaycelyn Brown, the trio has shaped a melodic indie rock sound since 2007, balancing bright guitars, close vocal harmonies and storytelling rooted on Canada’s Pacific coast. Their early days ran from Taking Abalonia, reworked as Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia, through Islands Disappear and Little Mountain, laying a foundation of punchy songs next to quieter, reflective cuts.

The band leaned into sharper pop contours on hawaiii, then explored more introspective tones on As Long As Your Eyes Are Wide. Cascadia and Dandelion continued to blend indie rock, alternative pop and light folk textures, always keeping melody at the centre. For this 20th Anniversary Tour date at Hollywood Theatre, 3123 West Broadway, Said The Whale brings a set that draws from across their catalogue, tracing the contrast between Worcester and Bancroft’s voices and the group’s evolving arrangements. A hometown night that looks back while staying focused on the essentials: songs that move, build and breathe.
