Friends, an absurd number of huge artists remembered Vancouver exists. It’s too late to pick up tickets for Sienna Spiro and Olivia Rodrigo (unless you’re feeling brave enough to chance Stubhub) but you still have time to grab tickets to Doja Cat, Bruno Mars, Beabadadoobee, Teddy Swims, AND RUSH! Choose wisely. Your future bank account is watching.

Fortunately, we’re giving away tickets to see the incomparable Phoebe Bridgers. One lucky winner will catch Alex G’s opening set before floating off into The Lost Tour on 10/24. Enter to win or grab your tickets now. Plus, $1 from every ticket supports sexual violence survivors and prevention efforts.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• At 81, Bruce Cockburn (that’s CO-burn) is still filling theatres with sharp political lyrics, spiritual reflections and expertly plucked guitar. Catch him at The Centre next April!
