Parcels stopped by Coca-Cola Coliseum on October 21st, 2025 to show Toronto some affection on their Loved tour. The Australian band, now based in Berlin, was in the midst of their North American tour promoting their third studio album of the same name.

Supporting act The Lemon Twigs started off the evening with “My Golden Years,” a song pairing jangly, upbeat guitar sounds with catchy, harmonious vocals. As the band continued to entertain Toronto’s attentive and dancing audience, they proved exactly why they’ve garnered so much praise from their peers and legends in the industry.

Next, Parcels took the stage with a sparkling rendition of “Tobeloved.” The five-piece electro-pop act raised the vibration of a crowd filled with elated faces to set the tone for the rest of the evening. Despite touring relentlessly for nearly a decade, the band proved that their energy and passion still remained strong.

In songs like “Safeandsound” and “Sorry,” their vulnerable vocals were supported by lighthearted instrumentals that showed everyone just how far they’ve progressed as individuals and musicians since coming together as high school students many years ago.
