Finn Wolfhard

Finn Wolfhard with Malcy — Event Description

Finn Wolfhard brings his evolving musical project to the stage on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, with Malcy joining the lineup. Doors open at 7:00 pm and the show begins at 8:00 pm, offering audiences an evening centered on Wolfhard’s increasingly personal approach to songwriting and the live energy that inspired his forthcoming album, Fire From The Hip.

For Wolfhard, music has been a constant outlet throughout his life—something that has provided escape, expression, and a way to make sense of changing circumstances. His 2025 solo debut, Happy Birthday, introduced listeners to that deeply personal side of his artistry. With Fire From The Hip, his forthcoming 2026 album, he expands that foundation into a broader and more collaborative sound while maintaining the emotional honesty at the heart of his songwriting.

The new material was heavily influenced by Wolfhard’s experiences performing with friends who also serve as his backing band. After touring behind Happy Birthday, he began writing songs with the energy, chemistry, and spontaneity of those live performances in mind. The result is an album designed to capture the feeling of musicians creating together rather than simply assembling perfectly polished parts.

Nostalgia remains an important theme, alongside uncertainty and the turbulence of growing up. Inspired in part by albums such as Exile on Main St. and Beggars Banquet, Wolfhard embraced a sound that favors atmosphere and spontaneity. Much of Fire From The Hip was recorded using 24-track reel-to-reel tape, giving the music an analog character while retaining subtle modern touches. Many of the album’s foundations came from full-band live takes, allowing imperfections and unexpected moments to become part of the recordings.

Wolfhard’s return to Vancouver also informed the project, providing a familiar backdrop during a period of transition and reflection. Songs written at different points in his creative development now come together around ideas of identity, change, and continually coming of age.

For local audiences, the October 14 performance offers a chance to hear Wolfhard at an important point in that evolution, with Malcy also appearing as part of the evening’s lineup. Fire From The Hip represents more than a follow-up to Happy Birthday; it is Wolfhard’s latest musical snapshot and a reflection of where his songwriting, friendships, and creative instincts have taken him.
