Shows we'd buy tickets for
IVE World Tour Show What I Am - Rogers Arena, Sunday August 9
The week's marquee event belongs to IVE, the six-member South Korean group behind 'Love Dive,' 'After Like' and 'I Am.' Their Show What I Am world tour reaches Rogers Arena on August 9 for the group's first-ever Vancouver concert, closing a North American leg that opened in Toronto and Montreal in July. Expect a high-gloss, choreography-driven production built around one of K-pop's biggest current acts. Tickets are on sale now.
LCD Soundsystem - Freedom Mobile Arch, Friday August 7
James Murphy's dance-punk institution LCD Soundsystem makes its only Canadian stop of the tour at the Freedom Mobile Arch at the PNE. Two decades on from 'Losing My Edge,' the band's marathon live sets remain a rite of passage, building 'Dance Yrself Clean,' 'All My Friends' and 'Someone Great' into one long euphoric release. Tickets are available now.
Suki Waterhouse: The Loveland Tour - Orpheum Theatre, Saturday August 8
Suki Waterhouse brings The Loveland Tour to the Orpheum Theatre in support of 'Loveland,' released this summer as her first full-length since signing with Island Records. The record trades some of her hazy dream-pop for something warmer and more direct, and the ornate Orpheum is a fitting room for it. Tickets are on sale now.
Chiodos: It's Not You, It's Me Tour - Commodore Ballroom, Friday August 7
Post-hardcore favourites Chiodos roll into the Commodore Ballroom on the It's Not You, It's Me Tour, their first major North American run since reuniting at the When We Were Young festival in 2024. The Michigan band spent 2025 marking the 20th anniversary of their debut 'All's Well That Ends Well,' and this outing leans on that theatrical, piano-laced take on screamo. Tickets are here.
Thee Sacred Souls x LA LOM: The Constellation Tour - Freedom Mobile Arch, Sunday August 9
San Diego trio Thee Sacred Souls headline The Constellation Tour alongside LA LOM and The Womack Sisters, a triple bill of vintage soul, cumbia-tinged guitar instrumentals and family harmonies. The Penrose Records outfit built its following on slow-burning, lovelorn sweet soul, and the open-air Freedom Mobile Arch is an ideal summer-evening setting. Tickets are on sale now.
Faouzia: The Film Noir Tour - Hollywood Theatre, Monday August 3
Manitoba-raised singer-songwriter Faouzia opens the week at the Hollywood Theatre on The Film Noir Tour, her first international run in four years and the launch of her cinematic debut album 'Film Noir.' Known for the John Legend duet 'Minefields' and her powerhouse vocal runs, she turns the record's noir-tinged drama into a full stage world. Tickets are available now.
