Amyl and The Sniffers Live Review – 2026 North American Tour

When you go for the opening band and get completely blown away by the headliner! That is exactly what happened to me on June 4, 2026, at the RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto, Canada.


As many fans may know, L7 is preparing for their farewell tour and is currently opening for Amyl and the Sniffers. Being a longtime fan of L7, I naturally bought a ticket to see them, and they absolutely did not disappoint. I managed to secure a front-row spot at the barrier to make sure I had the best view possible. Aside from hearing the name Amyl and the Sniffers in passing, I knew very little about them. Before the show started, I noticed a message displayed on the screens about mosh pit etiquette, which gave me a bit of uncertainty about what I was in for.


The moment Amy Taylor stepped onto the stage and addressed the crowd, the audience erupted. The energy was immediate and contagious. The mosh pit sprang to life almost instantly and didn't let up until the very last song.


I was completely captivated by their raw, old-school punk sound and the intensity they brought to the stage. Even more impressive was seeing how enthusiastically the younger generation responded to it. It instantly transported me back to my own teenage years.


As the set went on, I realized I actually knew two of their songs, which was a pleasant surprise. Even when I didn't know the material, it didn't matter. Their music is infectious, easy to get into, and Amy Taylor is simply mesmerizing to watch. Her stage presence, vocals, and nonstop energy make for an unforgettable performance.


What started as a night out to see one of my favorite bands turned into discovering a new one. Amyl and the Sniffers left me wanting more, and I can't wait for the chance to see them again.

There seems to be a growing wave of Australian bands making their way to North America, and I’m absolutely loving it!

Social Distortion, Descendents, The Chats History (Toronto) – September 14, 2026 The crowd at History showed just how much punk’s demographic has shifted over the years. The room was clearly split: veterans who grew up on Social Distortion and Descendents stood shoulder-to-shoulder with younger kids who got into the genre through The Chats—a weird contrast against History’s polished, venue-security-heavy atmosphere. … Read more
