I was very excited to hear that she is coming to Van after all these years. I guess her new contract with Live Nation had something to do with it. I saw her at Wembley (Girlie Show) and at Palace Auburn Hills (Drowned World). I can't wait to see her here in my home town!

Didn't U2 play 3 shows? The Police played 3 (including one fan club / dress rehearsal). I can't remember anyone else recently that's played more than 2 concerts in a row there (or at Pacific Coliseum).

Crap, I really should have posted this earlier: http://wolfparade.ducatking.com/

Presale tickets have been on sale there for a while, I snapped them up immediately because last time (at Richard's on Richards) they sold out pretty quickly and I had to resort to Craigslist scalpers. I think they're cheaper than Ticketmaster so it's still worth using.

Janet Jackson kicking off her tour in Vancouver! I remember her show in 1990 in BC Place!

I hope it's in BC Place for this one too! Rock the Dome! Then Madonna in there October

It's interesting how so many tours start in Vancouver....it's weird.

dreambrother808 · #**111** Posted **May 21, 2008, 12:50 AM**

maybe fans are considered more forgiving of first night jitters here? or maybe artists are less fearful of a more provincial press on that opening night?

It's probably mainly our location. We're at the "end of the line" for west coast shows. A lot of tours (or at least tour legs) end here as well (Queen + Paul Rodgers and the Rolling Stones were two that I went to).

The next week is shaping up to be a busy time for concerts!
Tomorrow night: REM, Modest Mouse & the National
I'll have to miss Ladytron and the Breeders but REM is worth it.
Presets on Saturday.
The Cure next week.
yessss

Hong Kongese · #**114** Posted **May 23, 2008, 6:02 AM**

I always like REM!

excel · #**115** Posted **May 23, 2008, 8:02 PM**

im headin to that concert tonight, just got my tickets off craigslist for 50 a piece instead of 70.

David · #**116** Posted **May 24, 2008, 5:32 PM**

Madonna sold out the lower bowl BC Place in less than a minute. Expect the upper bowl to be released soon...

Smooth · #**117** Posted **May 31, 2008, 6:49 AM**

This should be a good show...

Beck with special guests Band of Horses

Thursday, August 28th, 2008 - The Orpheum

Tickets on-sale Saturday, May 31st at 10am.

quobobo · #**118** Posted **May 31, 2008, 7:04 AM**

I'd like to go to Beck, but $70 (after the various Ticketmaster charges that's about right) is pretty steep...

MistyMountainHop · #**119** Posted **May 31, 2008, 7:16 AM**

Iron Maiden on Tuesday!

I can hardly wait!

I too am torn. At least it's a great venue. I don't know many songs from Band of Horses but I've heard good things about them.
