The Midnight: Time Machines

The Midnight brings the Time Machines tour to Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver on May 11, 2026. Formed by singer‑songwriter Tyler Lyle and Danish producer Tim McEwan after a Los Angeles writing session in 2012, the duo crafts a synthwave sound that blends electronic pop, 80s rock shades and cinematic moods. Melodic synths, saxophone lines and storytelling vocals trace night drives, adolescence and digital nostalgia.

From the debut EP Days of Thunder (2014) to Endless Summer (2016) and Kids (2018), the project sharpened its pop writing while keeping a strong visual pulse. Nocturnal (2017) and Monsters (2020) pushed into darker tones, before Heroes (2022) added a more alt‑rock edge without losing the synth backbone. On stage, The Midnight expands into a full live band, translating studio textures into something more physical, with drums, guitars and saxophone bringing extra lift. Time Machines draws across this catalogue, offering a focused trip through the duo’s evolving sound and the city‑at‑night imagery that runs through their songs.
