PUP: Live Concert | CBC Music Live

The sweat soaked crowd at Lee’s Palace was ready to rage when ‪@puptheband‬ hit the stage for the third show of their Mega City Madness tour. The tour was a run of six shows, all within Toronto, starting with a tiny house show and ending at History, a 2,500 person venue. In the 90-minute set, many new songs from their fifth studio album Who will Look After the Dogs? were mixed with fan favourites, pulling heavily from their 2016 album Morbid Stuff. Ironically opening with If This Tour Doesn’t Kill You, I Will, followed by their biggest song, DVP, set the mosh pit into a frenzy that didn’t let up for the entire show. Newer songs like Hallways and No Hope hit with the same ferocity that the band is known for. If there’s one thing fans can count on at a PUP show it is raw energy and antics, and they absolutely delivered. Lead singer Stefan Babcock crowd surfed, twice, and the crowd was constantly active and at one point chanted to hear a song played earlier in the set again. Fans sang every word to every song and the feeling of collective joy and catharsis was palpable. Notoriously known to skip encores the band closed out with three back-to-back bangers, Reservoir, Old Wounds and Hunger For Death and thanked the roaring crowd for their years of fervent support.
