Weekly List of upcoming shows, October 29th to November 5th (updated each Thursday)

THE LIST!…..Nearly 150 GIGS (near summer levels!) FOR THIS WEEKEND and next week!!!

Plus, a further 60+ more musical events over the coming few weeks!!!

Well, it is definitely feeling like we have turned a corner into fall/winter, but still we are maintaining SUMMER-LIKE levels of musical entertainment this week with some definite musical highlights! ! 

On Thursdays, I put out this listing of gigs for the coming weekend. This is stuff that appeals to me, interesting stuff, stuff that caught my eye, unusual stuff, cheap and/or free live music etc. 

If you would like your gig to be included here please let me know ahead of time.

I typically get these listing up by about 3pm each Thursday and they are “this coming weekend” heavy, with a separate section for things to keep an eye on (or get tickets for) in the near future.

Feel free to post in the group but, please remember, this is a group for LIVE music events in Vancouver and across the lower mainland. Start times, ticket information and any further information about your upcoming gig is also super helpful.

So here is the list, in no particular order…..but roughly grouped by location…(With new separators for larger centres)

“+” indicates a recurring date.
