For a city as big as Vancouver, it can be difficult to know what’s happening, who’s going to be there when, where, why… etc. It’s especially difficult when you’re trying to get into the local music scene.

How awesome would it be if there was an easy way to answer all of those questions? If only I knew of a site that could do just that… Oh wait, I do!

The Vancouver Punk Calendar is a free website available to everybody that will tell you all about the latest up and coming shows in and around Vancouver!

You want to know who’s playing, where it’s going to be, when it’s happening, what it’s attached too, maybe even why? Well there’s a pretty good chance it can answer all of those questions and more with a couple clicks!

You can check out the calendar here:

It’s doesn’t just show what’s happening that month either, if there’s a show happening a few months in the future, it’s probably there. If there’s a show that’s going to happen that isn’t on the calendar? The Vancouver Punk Calendar is on Instagram and Facebook, and more than open to people informing them on new shows! On top of that, you can also add the calendar to your google account and access it from the Google Calendar application or website to make it even more user friendly.

The Vancouver Punk Calendar is a prime example of how the community operates. It shows how welcoming it is by making it as easy as possible for new and returning community members to navigate the bustling scene. It can be very overwhelming at times, but the calendar is here to counteract the stress accordingly.

Many people may look at the local music scene, punk or indie, and assume it’s a tight knit and closed off community, but it really isn’t. Tight knit, yes, but it is genuinely such a friendly place. It gives many a space to explore self expression, find like minded people, and learn about both themselves and others.

All and all, if you’ve ever found yourself curious and wanting to see what Vancouver’s local music scene has to offer, I highly recommend grabbing a friend and checking out the Vancouver Punk Calendar. You may find something that sounds interesting, so don’t let fear keep you from finding a new place to be your true, authentic self. You only live once, you might as well find a good way to enjoy it!
