Boo! Did I scare ya? Spooky season has descended, so cleanse your palate from all those horror movies with some local indie rockers, a Stranger Things actor turned savvy songwriter (Finn Wolfhard, pictured above), and arena-filling It-girls. Here are this month’s can’t-miss concerts in Vancouver.<\/p>\n
As always, head over to Concert Central<\/a> for more Canadian tour announcements, show listings, recommendations and more.<\/p>\n Beth Orton<\/a> with Kenny Stahl Onetime folktronica songwriter Beth Orton has shifted into a more expansive art rock sound with her past couple of albums, and she’ll bring this year’s The Ground Above to Vancouver.<\/p>\n The Zolas<\/a> with cherry pick<\/a> Prepare to swoon: Vancouver’s own indie rockers the Zolas are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their 2016 album Swooner<\/a>, and frontman Zach Gray recently told Exclaim!<\/a> that they’ve also got “a new project recorded together. We’ll never stop.”<\/p>\n Status\/Non-Status<\/a> and By Divine Right<\/a> with Uptights<\/a> Even though Status\/Non-Status and By Divine Right were founded a couple decades apart, these two Ontario indie rock groups still feel like a logical pairing.<\/p>\n Dumb Crush<\/a> with Haleluya Hailu<\/a> Dumb Crush are absolute crushers live, and Vancouverites will have a chance to learn why Toronto crowds are dumbstruck by this post-punk trio.<\/p>\n Finn Wolfhard<\/a> One of the best actor-turned-musicians anywhere, Strangers Things kid Finn Wolfhard is all grown up and on the cover of Exclaim!<\/a> as he releases the stellar power pop album Fire from the Hip<\/a>.<\/p>\n This Is Lorelei<\/a> with Colin Miller “Just being in front of people with Water from Your Eyes, I just get to kind of chill out and stare at the ground and do cool guitar stuff. [With] Lorelei, I have to go up in front of the class and read my diary,” Nat Amos recently told Exclaim!<\/a> Come hear a few pages from said diary!<\/p>\n Phoebe Bridgers<\/a> with Alex G<\/a> After a couple of quiet years, Pheobe Bridgers is absolutely everywhere right now. She’s in her first movie<\/a>, her new album<\/a> rules, and her Vancouver show is sure to be one of the music events of the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n Julia Jacklin<\/a> with Jordan Patterson<\/a> “Existence is super weird, and that’s why I love making music, because you get to make something that’s strange, these sounds, as a way to try to pin down the experience of being alive. That’s why you keep making music: because you’ll never achieve that,” Julia Jacklin told us<\/a> of her new album The Gem. Come see her continue to chance the unknowable.<\/p>\n Begonia<\/a> With magnetic stage presence and an even more commanding voice, Winnipeg’s Alexa Dirks will welcome Vancouver into her Fantasy Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n beabadoobee<\/a> with Wisp<\/a>
