The charity world seems too sophisticated sometimes, something that is made for rich donors and rich members of society. But Bbno$ is making it fun with Baby’s Bonanza 2 which is set for October 11 at the PNE Forum. This isn’t just another concert the city is putting on, this is a homecoming. As we know he hails from Vancouver and has always been very vocal about his love for the city.

On his instagram, bbno$ pledged, “I will be donating every penny I make in Vancouver back to the city from now on. I love you all more than you know.” Now that is a promise, not just good PR.
His first Bonanza at Malkin Bowl raised a jaw-dropping $103,000 for the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre, with every cent going to the charity. He’s turned a concert into direct action, and this year promises to do even more.
The lineup brings together a unique mix of artists: Priyanka (Canada’s iconic drag queen), Ikky (Punjabi pop producer), Yung Kai (Chinese canadian indie pop singer), and Jungle Bobby (local artist known for his funky sound), all joining bbno$ for an unforgettable night.
You know when BBNo$ is putting on a show, its more of everything; more energy, more fashion and still no shits given (as his Junos costume for this year will surely tell you)

As destinationvancouver.com puts it, “Baby’s Bonanza is an off-the-wall, high-energy night of music, surprises, and pure chaos in the best way possible.” The phrase sounds made for him, but if it means community, charity and a good cause, I am all for the chaos.
We love chaos in Vancouver. We love unique shows, DIY shows, underground late night shows. So why not a show for a good cause? Thanks to affordable $91 tickets and open to all ages vibes, its one night that’s actually going to make all the difference.
So show up, because you won’t just carry the memories of Priyanka’s colorful, energetic performance, or Ikky’s soulful beats, you’ll remember the playful chaos that came together to do some serious good.
