1. Carly Rae Jepsen – The Dedicated Tour

Starting with a modern-day pop princess who is originally from Mission, Canada, this is a must for those who want to bop along to hits including ‘Call Me Maybe’ and ‘I Really Like You’.

2. Iron Maiden – Legacy of the Beast Tour
September 3rd – Rogers Arena
From one extreme to the other, here’s something a bit heavier than pop.
Fans of Iron Maiden won’t want to miss this show. Described as a ‘history/hits tour’, Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood has shared that the concert and stage design features ‘a number of different but interlocking ‘worlds’ with a setlist covering a large selection of 80s material’.
Rock on!
3. Death Cab for Cutie
September 5th – Malkin Bowl
Now for something in the middle of the two – the Goldilocks option.
Promising a mix of old and new – the tour celebrates the latest release, ‘Thank You For Today’ and ‘The Blue EP’, this will be a great nostalgia vibe for emo-turned-alternative kids from back in the day.
4. Bryan Ferry
September 5th – Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Leave the kids at home, because this one is just for mom and dad who will enjoy a night of fun and frolics from Bryan Ferry in the beautiful surroundings of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
Make a true romantic night of it and treat yourselves to a tasty meal beforehand at a nearby top restaurant in downtown Vancouver.
5. Bon Iver
September 7th – Pacific Coliseum
This particular world tour has made headlines in the music world, and it’s no wonder. The larger scale of touring reflects the growing community around the band in terms of both recording and live performance, and it invites the audience to gather for an exciting new production.
6. Mark Knopfler
September 16th – Orpheum Theatre
