Victoria is a little big city, with a musical culture all its own. It also attracts great acts from around the world, giving you a chance to see intimate concerts from some of your favourite performers! Check out some of these incredible acts coming through town!
RYAN ADAMS
From his genre defining turn in Whiskeytown to his concept cover album where he performed and recorded his own versions of every song on Taylor Swift’s “1989,” Ryan Adams makes musical genius look easy. A country troubadour, a rock god, an enfant terrible and, most importantly, just a really good songwriter, Ryan Adams will be coming to the Alix Goolden Hall in Victoria on June 25th.
This concert will be a rare treat. If you don’t know, the Alix Goolden Hall is a beautiful church that has been converted to a concert hall, transforming concerts into beautiful, spiritual experiences. The combination of warm light from stained glass windows and classic songs like “Magnolia Mountain” and “Come Pick Me Up” will be be transformative. Get tickets today and don’t miss out.
DELHI 2 DUBLIN
Delhi 2 Dublin exemplify the ideal of “world music,” representing the union of incredibly different musical traditions into joyful, uplifting dance music. They’ll be performing on the legislative lawns at BC’s Parliament building Friday, June 30th, in preparation for the Canada Day weekend. Put on your dancing shoes and come have fun!
PHILLIPS BACKYARD WEEKENDER
The line-up for this year’s Phillips Backyard Weekender hasn’t been released yet, but in previous years it’s been an incredible time for a very low price. Early bird tickets for the three day micro-festival are only $75, and it will be sure to feature some of BC’s favourite bands in one of Victoria’s most beloved microbreweries. Take a chance and gamble on a great weekend!
Victoria is a great combination of the excitement of the big city and the easy pace of a small town. If you’re looking for accommodations, stay at the Days Inn Victoria on The Harbour for a great combination of an unbeatable location, fantastic service and great prices. Book your stay today!
