They may not be a household name, but they will be soon enough.

French rockers Phoenix are stopping in Vancouver on their latest tour, in anticipation of the release of their new album, Bankrupt.

Hailing from the French city of Versailles, Phoenix had their breakthrough with the 2009  album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.  Featuring catchy numbers like 1901 and Lisztomania, the record won a Grammy as best alternative album.

Justin Bieber is swinging into town on Oct. 10 to launch the Canadian leg of his Believe world tour.  He’ll take the stage at 7 p.m. at Rogers Arena.  And his opening act is none other than Mission’s own Carly Rae Jepsen, the local pop diva behind Call Me Maybe.

Back when concert dates were announced in the spring, Beliebers were shocked to discover that Vancouver had initially been left off the tour (hard to believe, considering that Saskatoon made the cut).  After a tempest in the Twitterverse, however, Bieber’s organizers found a way to squeeze in a Vancouver concert.

The Justin who takes the stage this Wednesday will be a far cry from the Justin who thrilled tweens at Rogers Arena nearly two years ago.  Continue reading:
