Upcoming Vancouver Concerts
Some of my friends on the east coast asked what kind of exciting events were happening in Vancouver. The answer; a bunch of kickass concerts. Here’s a short list of the Vancouver concerts I’m headed to in the next two months:
- Regina Spektor on Apr 21st @ The Commodore Ballroom
- Explosions in the Sky on May 5th @ Croatian Cultural Centre
- The Arcade Fire on May 24th @ Deer Lake Park
- (CSS) Cansei de Ser Sexy on June 6th @ Richard’s on Richards
- Architecture in Helsinki on June 14th @ Richard’s on Richards
I’m also considering buying tickets to see Bjork, Interpol, Dimmu Borgir, and Seu Jorge. The Sasquatch Festival down in Washington is also very tempting, but I think the logistics of it all have defeated me.
Feel free to get in touch if you feel like meeting up at any of the shows listed. I’ve been considering putting in a request to do some concert photography at either the Explosions in the Sky or CSS shows. I just recently read Thomas Hawk’s guide to getting permission to shoot concert photography. It’s got me all jazzed up again to try this out, so I might give it a shot.
Has anyone out there done any concert photography themselves? Do you have any advice for me? You know where to put it.

Hot damn, I am going to try this. I do a lot of other staged acted events but not a lot of concert photography.

I’m going to Bjork and Regina. I’m also seeing The Books, the incomporable Lisa Gerrard (lead singer of Dead Can Dance doing a solo show) and I buckled and bought tickets to an evening with Sigourney Weaver as part of the Unique Lives series at the Orpheum.
