Upcoming Events in Vancouver, British Columbia

How to use Vancouver’s live events calendar

Start with the upcoming events calendar to see which concerts, games, and shows are actually on sale in Vancouver right now. Filter by date and event type, then click through to a listing to see the venue, start time, and current ticket options. If you already know you want a big arena show, a theatre performance, or a club gig, scan for those venues first, then compare dates and prices across the events listed there.

Major arenas and stadium shows in Vancouver

For large-scale concerts and major sports or touring productions, focus on Rogers Arena and BC Place Stadium. Rogers Arena is where many big-name artists and large indoor events appear, while BC Place Stadium is the city’s key outdoor stadium for high-capacity shows. When you’re browsing the calendar, if you see a tour you recognize at either of these venues, treat those dates as the anchor options for large, high-energy events in Vancouver.

Theatres and performing arts: where to find big stage shows

If you’re interested in theatre, comedy, or seated stage productions, pay attention to Orpheum Theatre - Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver, and The Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage when they appear in the listings. Orpheum Theatre and Queen Elizabeth Theatre are among the city’s busiest rooms for touring productions and special events, while The Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage is a key spot for staged performances.

When the calendar shows a play, comedy tour, or special presentation at one of these venues, it’s a strong option if you prefer a seated, theatre-style night out.

Concert halls and club shows: Vancouver’s busy music rooms

For live music, the calendar will often surface shows at Commodore Ballroom, Vogue Theatre - BC, Hollywood Theatre - Vancouver, and The Pearl - BC. Commodore Ballroom is one of the city’s most active concert rooms, regularly hosting touring bands and electronic acts. Vogue Theatre - BC and Hollywood Theatre - Vancouver bridge the gap between concert hall and theatre, often appearing on lineups for music-focused nights.

The Pearl - BC shows up for more intimate gigs. When you scan the listings, use these venue names as markers for where the current wave of concerts is happening in Vancouver.

Sports and outdoor events

If you want an outdoor or seasonal outing, watch for listings at Nat Bailey Stadium and Under The Big Top - Concord Pacific Place. Nat Bailey Stadium is a key venue when the calendar shows baseball or other field-based events, especially in the warmer months.

Under The Big Top - Concord Pacific Place appears when touring tent shows or special outdoor productions come through town. When you see dates at either of these venues, you’re likely looking at a more open-air, seasonal style of event compared with the city’s indoor theatres and arenas.
