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 Beaches
Where? Commodore
When? Wednesday, May 25 & Thursday, May 26
Why? Fresh off their JUNO win for Rock album of the year, I’m pretty bummed that I’ll be missing The Beaches when they return to Vancouver, for a pair of shows at the Commodore.
 

Christine's Pick

Who? Just For Laughs Vancouver Festival
Where? Various Venues
When? May 25 to 29th
Why? Because we all need to have a good laugh these days, and with a ton of shows and comedians to choose from, you’re bound to end up having a great time.

BONUS Pick

Who? Just Like Heaven
Where? Brookside at the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, CA)
When? Saturday, June 21
Why? And this is why Kirk will be missing the above show(s)… I’ll be in California for what I’ve jokingly been calling 2006: The Music Festival! Franz Ferdinand! Bloc Party! The Shins! Modest Mouse! Interpol! Wolf Parade! Peaches! and more! Holy cow!

Kirk's Pick

Who? Land of Talk
Where? Fox Cabaret
When? Monday, May 16
Why? The acclaimed Montreal band returns to Vancouver to celebrate their latest EP, Calming Night Partner!
 

Christine's Pick

Who? Anyway Gang
Where? Imperial
When? Thursday May 19
Why? Sam Roberts. Menno Versteeg. Chris Murphy. Dave Monks.
That’s it, that’s my pitch, because that’s all you should need!

 

BONUS Pick

Who? Corb Lund
Where? The Wise Hall
When? May 18th, 19th AND 20th!
Why? The last time I saw Corb I think it was at the Commodore, so to see him in such a small venue would just be a treat and a boot stompin’ good time!

Kirk's Pick

Who? Sigur Rós
Where? The Orpheum
When? Monday, May 9
Why? One of my all time favourite bands, who I haven’t seen in nearly a decade, bringing their incredibly rich & lush sounds to the Orpheum? Yes please. A million times yes please.

Christine's Pick

Who? Dan Mangan
Where? Vogue Theatre
When? Wednesday, May 11 & Thursday, May 12
Why? Oh, you know, we’ve only been waiting for this specific Mangan show for TWO YEARS now! Personally, I’m also excited to see Cardboard Dan in action in the lobby (I took the photo), but also to sing along to all my favourites. You don’t really need a why, it’s DAN MANGAN!

BONUS Pick

Who? !!! with Blonde Diamond
Where? Fox Cabaret
When? Thursday, May 12
Why? Get ready to dance as !!! (chk chk chk) returns to Vancouver, and as an added bonus, locals Blonde Diamond are opening for them! Tough to beat that pairing.
