Vandelux<\/a>: September 4 @ Malkin Bowl\u00a0<\/p>\n

Considering Benelux is Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg, Vandelux is probably Vancouver, Delta\u2026 and Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

The Korean indie rock band is waving hello to big success.<\/p>\n

Kudos to Australia\u2019s Kevin Parker for single-handedly teaching people what impalas are.<\/p>\n

Brandon Flowers<\/a>: September 8 @ Vogue Theatre<\/p>\n

Give the Killers frontman his flowers: his Americana album Thrasher actually slaps.<\/p>\n

Of the Trees<\/a>: September 11 @ Malkin Bowl\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems appropriate for this woodsy EDM producer to be playing in Stanley Park.<\/p>\n

Barnside Harvest Festival:\u00a0<\/a>September 11-13 @ Paterson Park, Delta<\/p>\n

Embrace the “Life is a Highway” spirit by heading down the 99 to see Tom Cochrane, Smash Mouth, and more.<\/p>\n

Foo Fighters<\/a>: September 20 @ BC Place\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remember when everyone thought Dave Grohl was the nicest guy in rock music and then it turned out he’d cheated on his wife? That was only two years ago!<\/p>\n

Bring Me The Horizon<\/a>: September 20 @ Rogers Arena\u00a0<\/p>\n

Motionless in White join the Sheffield rockers for a truly Kerrang!-coded night of metalcore.<\/p>\n

Arlo Parks<\/a>: September 22 @\u00a0The Pearl<\/p>\n

The indie folk singer has an Ambiguous Desire\u00a0to blow your mind.<\/p>\n

jpegmafia:\u00a0<\/a>September 23 @ Vogue Theatre<\/p>\n

The rapper could spawn some great tribute acts, like pngyakuza or gifbratva.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Big Thief<\/a>: September 24 @ Malkin Bowl\u00a0<\/p>\n

While you could try to big thief, little thief, cardboard box to Adrianne Lenker and co., it might not fit the vibe.<\/p>\n

Chance the Rapper<\/a>: September 25 @ Freedom Mobile Arch\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 10-year anniversary of Coloring Book is the perfect opportunity for the rapper to keep colouring outside the lines.<\/p>\n

Dwayne Gretzky<\/a>: September 25 @ Commodore Ballroom\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canada’s old-school cover band is probably nostalgic for a time before Wayne Gretzky was golfing with Trump.<\/p>\n

Friko<\/a>: September 26 @ Fox Cabaret\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the band was in town last May, its show is always Something Worth Waiting For.<\/p>\n

The B-52s and Devo<\/a>: September 27 @ Rogers Arena\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forget “Love Shack” and “Whip It”: there are a veritable mountain of karaoke classics in these bands’ back catalogues.<\/p>\n

Perfume Genius<\/a>: September 27 @ Hollywood Theatre<\/p>\n

Perfume Genius’ first two albums were lo-fi perfection, but in the years since he’s embraced Glory.<\/p>\n

Lily Allen<\/a>: September 28 @ Orpheum Theatre<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever wanted to see the West End Girl eviscerate David Harbour from front to back, you’re in luck!<\/p>\n

Sombr<\/a>: September 29 @ Rogers Arena\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now that the 1975 are so 2015, a new flop-haired singer is in ascendancy.<\/p>\n
