YACHT plays The Biltmore Cabaret Dec. 15.
As the year winds down, concert pickings get slim. Sure, there are plenty of holiday-themed shows—and we’ll do a separate post on those—but what’s a fan of non-seasonal music to do? Fortunately, we’ve uncovered a few non-Xmas related musical entertainments. Enjoy.
The big news for November is the return of the Black Keys. The two-piece blues band reformed after five years to release their most recent album, Let’s Rock. They’ll play Rogers Arena Nov. 24.
Another biggie this month is Sleater-Kinney, the long-running Pacific Northwest indie-rock trio (reduced to a duo after drummer Janet Weiss left, following the recording of their latest album). They’re here Nov. 21.
Below, we’ve highlighted those two shows along with four others we think are worth checking out.

Sleater-Kinney, Black Keys and four more concerts to see in Vancouver in November

Located in the heart of Vancouver, Granville Street is considered the city’s main entertainment district. Lined with countless restaurants, bars and nightclubs whose neon signs spark to life as darkness falls, the strip pulses with activity during weekends. As a main thoroughfare, Granville Street is easy to get to, whether your pleasure lies in shopping by day or shimmying on the dance floor at night.

It’s a big month for local music fans, as the Vancouver International Jazz Festival (June 21-July 1) gets underway. Meanwhile, there are lots of other shows happening, including a 20th anniversary tour for a classic Americana album, a sort-of comeback by a British chanteuse who’s collaborated with Eminem, and a local singer/songwriter with a penchant for exciting visuals. Here are six concerts to check out in Vancouver in June.
For some reason, watching two (or more!) people beat each other up has long been a popular form of entertainment. Since the days of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock (before he was a famous movie star) and now with a re-emerging popularity – perhaps, in part thanks to Glow on Netflix, wrestling is making a comeback.
You don’t need to tell the stars from the ECCW that. Otherwise known as the Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling, the ECCW is the Pacific Northwest’s premiere indie wrestling federation – and it’s coming to the Commodore Ballroom this weekend. Yes, you read the correctly, a wrestling match in a ballroom! Get ready for one riotous night out!

Want a crash course in the Vancouver music scene? You could do worse than check out some shows this May. In what is probably a coincidence but may be a cosmic alignment, this month’s concerts include a long-awaited reunion by one of the city’s most popular live bands, a tribute to a rockabilly legend, and what may be the “last electric” show by a songwriter many consider to be one of the best Vancouver has produced.
