FML Tour: Prozzak - Winnipeg, MB

There’s something uniquely surreal about seeing Prozzak live in 2026. A band that built its identity on animated personas and turn-of-the-millennium pop satire somehow still feels both nostalgic and freshly relevant—and their FML Tour stop at Park Theatre on April 13th proved exactly why.

From the moment the opening notes of “Strange Disease” rang out, the room snapped into a kind of collective time warp. The Park Theatre—already a staple for Winnipeg’s more intimate yet electric shows—felt packed with longtime fans who had grown up with Simon and Milo, alongside a newer generation discovering their emotionally offbeat pop storytelling in real time. The early run of songs—“Omobolasire,” “Tsunami,” and “When I Think of You”—set a tone that balanced melancholy with tongue-in-cheek charm. Prozzak’s strength has always been their ability to dress existential dread in candy-coated hooks, and live, that contrast hits even harder. The crowd didn’t just sing along—they performed the songs back, emphasizing every dramatic lyric like it was part of a shared inside joke.

Things kicked into a more playful gear with “Feed the Night,” “Hot,” and especially “I Like to Watch (Milo’s Night Out),” which drew one of the loudest reactions of the main set. The latter turned the venue into a chaotic, dancing singalong, with the audience fully embracing the band’s signature mix of awkward humour and unabashed honesty.

Mid-set highlights like “Just Friends” and “All of the Feels” leaned into Prozzak’s emotional core. These songs reminded everyone that beneath the animated exterior lies songwriting that genuinely understands heartbreak, longing, and social anxiety. The performance of “Europa” and “New York” added a cinematic feel, giving the set a sense of movement and narrative progression rather than just a string of hits.

By the time “If We Were in the Jungle” and “Saturday People” rolled around, the energy had fully peaked. The crowd was loud, sweaty, and completely locked in. “Love Fools Anonymous” and “Pretty Girls” closed the main set with a perfect mix of irony and sincerity—two elements Prozzak has always walked a fine line between.

But the encore is where the night truly cemented itself.

Returning to the stage, the band launched into “www.nevergetoveryou,” instantly reigniting the room. Then came the debut of “FML,” a brand new track that fits seamlessly into their catalogue—equal parts self-deprecating, catchy, and painfully relatable. It didn’t feel like a “new song” moment; it felt like a continuation of a story fans have been following for decades.

Closing out with “Be As” and the iconic “Sucks to Be You,” Prozzak delivered a finale that was both celebratory and oddly cathartic. Hearing an entire room shout along to “it sucks to be you” somehow felt less like mockery and more like communal therapy.

What made this show stand out wasn’t just the nostalgia—it was how current it all felt. Prozzak hasn’t become a legacy act coasting on past success. Instead, they’ve evolved just enough to stay relevant while holding onto the quirks that made them special in the first place.

At the Park Theatre, that balance translated into a night that felt deeply personal, wildly fun, and unexpectedly emotional. Not bad for a band that started as a cartoon.
