Here are the best concerts coming to Vancouver this July.
SHAWN MENDES

No write up needed, really… if you like rap music, seeing the Wu-Tang Clan live should be a bucket list activity.
When: July 2nd
Where: 2901 E Hastings Street

JASON MRAZ
What’s the “I’m yours” singer up to since the 2008 hit? Apparently, a lot. Jason Mraz’s soulful, folk-pop sound put him on the map – and he’s come a long way since his San Diego coffee shop days.

Where: 630 Hamilton Street, Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Cost: $57.12+
JEFF PARKER (DJ SET)
We’re using this concert as a way to remind you that the Vancouver International Jazz Fest is around the corner! So really, make a full day (or week) of free and ticketed options.
When: July 3rd
Where: 1300 Pacific Boulevard
Cost: Free!
FLIGHT FACILITIES
This is the only concert on our list that has sold out (at time of writing). Makes sense though, Flight Facilities has got a beautiful and enduring sound.

070 SHAKE
Of all the dates for concerts in Vancouver this July, our two frontrunners had to land on the same one! 070 Shake will be performing alongside a bunch of other major names at the return of the FVDED In The Park Festival in Surrey. We loved the new album.
When: July 8th
Where: 13428 Old Yale Road, Surrey
Cost: $139.99+
KHRUANGBIN
Meanwhile, this psych-rock band (a theme this month) is swinging into town as well! Khruangbin can do no wrong, from original albums to curated playlists to collaborations. Go see them live if you feel the same way!
When: July 8th
Where: 2901 E Hastings Street

HALEY BLAIS
Another free option, but this time as part of Khatsalano! Head down to 4th Ave to enjoy a full day of music, entertainment, and food, and soak up that summer weather.

THE ZOMBIES
Here’s the other surprise. To celebrate their Hall of Fame induction, The Zombies are going on tour! This band is arguably the birth of psych rock, and is absolutely a bucket-list name for anyone who is into the genre.
