bixby & Joon SELL OUT VELVET UNDERGROUND IN TORONTO ON THE “Desire Tour”
BY BRENESSA ROACH | NOVEMBER 20, 2024
The show began at 8:00 PM with Joon, opening the night with his songs “cynical” and “seasons”. His high energy had fans jumping, singing, and screaming along to every track. Joon also performed fan favourite tracks like, “take it back” and his hit song “talk!” featuring starfall—our personal favourite performance. He also performed an unreleased track, a slower and absolutely beautiful song, though we didn’t catch its name. We can’t wait for it to drop! It was especially exciting to see Joon perform live after featuring him on our blog back in early 2023 when we first started. We can’t wait to see him back in Toronto again!

bixby took the stage around 8:45 PM with electrifying energy, opening with “distance”, one of his hit songs from February 2024. He moved across the stage, dancing and interacting with the crowd while fans jumped, danced, and screamed along to every track. At several points during the show, he hyped up the audience, shouting, “Toronto, are you ready to f***ing jump?”.
His setlist included tracks like, “darling, he lied” featuring starfall, “dying to see you”, “endlessly” and “desire”. He also surprised the crowd with a beautiful cover of beabadoobee’s “Talk”. Joon returned to the stage to perform their collaborative song, “by my side”, leaving us with such a special moment.
The night became even more memorable when bixby performed his newly released track, “whyy,” which dropped at midnight. This marked his first release as an independent artist in two years. By the time he performed it, “whyy” had already passed over 100K streams in under 24 hours. The song was beautiful, and witnessing it live was an incredible experience.
bixby is an amazing performer with an impressive discography. We’re so thrilled to continue supporting him on his journey and can’t wait to see him perform again in the future!
A special thanks to LIVE NATION and bixby for the opportunity to photograph and cover this incredible show!
