Christine's Pick

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…
