Coast City Country inagural Festival in Vancouver

Posted on by

The Coast City Country Festival is coming to Vancouver this weekend at BC Place, becoming the largest country music event to ever come to Vancouver.

BC Place, Vancouver

 

With the cancellation of the Rockin River Music Fest after the 2022 event, country fans in the lower mainland have been wanting a festival close by that doesn’t involve getting onto a ferry to get to the Sunfest Country event. The Coast City Country Festival is hosting a 2 day event this weekend that is split into 5 different chunks: three after hour shows at the Commodore Ballroom, and two festival days at BC Place.

So for the next couple of days, the city of Vancouver will not only be buzzing with the Canucks in the playoffs, but it will be buzzing with the many different country music fans from all across the country. This will be an absolutely electric weekend in Vancouver. There is no telling how busy downtown will be this weekend, but one can only guess that most restaurants and bars will be very hard to get into.

Here’s what to expect: some seriously huge names in the country music industry like Luke Bryan, who just started his Mind of a Country Boy Tour, and Dierks Bentley, as well as some new Canadian up and comers like Tenille Arts and Josh Ross. Arts will be playing at the Commodore, while Bentley, Bryan, and Ross will take the stage at BC place.

Oh ya, did I mention Nickelback is headlining too? That’s right Canada’s favourite rock band is the headline performance for tonight’s event, while Luke Bryan and Dierks Bentley headline tomorrow’s performers. Nickelback recently broke into the country scene, with High Time from their most recent album being featured on a country music radio. They’ve also been on the CMT Crossroads with country music Artist Hardy to perform his hit song Truck Bed.

 

To go to this event, you have a few options. You can either buy the single day tickets which are selling for just over $100 after fees, whereas the cheapest tickets for a two day pass are $139 after fees… I know which one I would pick! If you’re super boujee you can purchase the 2-day Marriott Bonvoy Tree Top VIP ticket for a measly $1299… Yikes. This ticket includes VIP entry, a separate designated seat, access to a raised platform in the middle of the floor, and access to the Surfside Lounge. I’m not quite sure who has the money for those tickets, but if I did I would absolutely use it on those seats. 

If you’re looking for a good time this weekend, Vancouver is definitely the place to be. Grab some tickets to the music festival for tonight and tomorrow, then go watch the Canucks in playoff action on Sunday! Sounds like a great weekend to me.
