Okay obviously it is the best thing ever. I feel like you would be crazy if you DIDN’T like concerts and thought that this wasn’t the best thing ever!

For the past almost two years, we have been deprived of concerts thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. But, because of the vaccine and masks, concerts are slowly starting to make their return, and like I said in the title, it is the best thing ever.

There are those special feelings that come with concerts – the anticipation to the event, experiencing the feeling of losing 5 years of hearing because the music is so loud, screaming fans, wanting to be taken away by the music, and that high on life feeling has been dearly missed, at least by me.

The last concert I went to was in 2018. It was 5 Seconds of Summer in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre. So it has been a hot minute since I was last at one.

On Saturday, I finally went to my first concert in three years, and my first concert in Vancouver!

It was LANY for the gg bb xx tour and was held in the Pacific Coliseum, a venu I had never been in before. My aunt filled me in that that was the venu where all the concerts were held in Vancouver before Rogers Arena was built.

It is a super cool venue and I love how open it is in terms of the seats and the concourse.

The concert itself was phenomenal – Paul Klein’s stage presence is out of this world and he really connects with his fans. Everyone there has having a great time.

For me, this concert was a great reintroduction to concerts and a great first concert in Vancouver.

That concert was the first concert to be held in the Pacific Coliseum since the start of the pandemic, and it is only the beginning.

Many concerts have been happening over the past couple of weeks. Rogers Arena had its first concert since March 2020 with country music star, Eric Church. The Vogue Theatre, The Orpheum, and the Commodore Ballroom have also held live concerts for the first time in almost two years.

Concerts of note that are still to come in 2021 are Mother Mother at The Commodore from December 2nd-5th, Milky Chance at the Civic Theatres on November 22nd, and Bryan Adams New Year’s Eve Party with special guests 54-40 and Mother Mother on New Years Eve.

Don’t miss out on the return to in person concerts – it is a very exciting time!
