Shows are back! Well, they’ve been back for a while, but now there are enough that every Friday, 3am Revelations can give you our picks for some of the fantastic live shows happening in and around our city of Vancouver.
What are you seeing this week? Let us know in the comments below.

Kirk's Pick

Who? The Flaming Lips
Where? Commodore Ballroom
When? Monday, May 2 & Tuesday, May 3
Why? The Flaming Lips put on one of the absolute best, wildest, and most uplifting live shows I’ve ever been to. It’s been too long since I last saw them live, so I am very excited. Especially because it will be an incredible one-two punch seeing them the literal day after…

Christine's Pick

Who? Rich Aucoin
Where? Fortune Sound Club
When? Sunday, May 1
Why? The last time Rich was in town was Halloween 2019! That was like, two whole albums ago. I cannot wait to FINALLY dance and sing along and hear the songs I’ve had on repeat for two years live! Welcome back Rich!

BONUS Pick

Who? Shakey Graves & Begonia
Where? The Orpheum
When? Monday May 2nd
Why? We’d suggest you go to this show for Begonia alone! She’s going to steal the show.

Virtual Gigs Of The Week - July 17 - June 23, 2020

July 17, 2020 by Kirk Hamilton in Gigs Of The Week

We usually would be bringing you some of our picks for concerts to attend in Vancouver this upcoming weekend/week - but since we’re all social distancing (YOU GET IN THAT APARTMENT!), we figured we’d bring you a list of virtual concerts instead.

This list is going to be updated every time we find a new one we thing fits our style, feel free to leave a comment or message us if you know of one that isn’t listed!

Stay safe and wash your hands…
