Beyond The Watch’s Favourite Concert Photos of 2025

Photo: Steve St. Jean

This year we said goodbye to Sweden’s Refused, watched Counter Parts tear apart History Toronto, received second-degree burns from Killswitch Engage, got the opportunity of a lifetime to capture Burton Cummings at the legendary El Mocambo, fell in love with Folk Bitch Trio at The Sound Garage, embraced our Quebecois roots with Cœur de pirate, sipped fresh @sidelaunch at Shad’s London homecoming, turned full hipster at the Mac Demarco / Tex Crick show, discovered how sick Toronto’s Sundowner is, and plenty more.

Thanks to every band, publicist, promoter, and label who trusted us behind the lens.

See you in 2026 ✌️
