BONUS Pick

Who? Corb Lund
Where? The Wise Hall

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!

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.

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.
