The K-pop group sometimes includes an AI singer.<\/p>\n
Aespa might just be looking forward to getting to Vancouver.<\/p>\n
The K-pop group is nearly done with the first leg of their Synk: Complaexity Tour, which ends here on Oct. 11 (it picks up again in England next year).<\/p>\n
The relatively new group has quickly risen to stardom with their first album Armageddon, which followed three straight EPs that peaked at No. 1 on the Korean and US World charts.<\/p>\n
Their second album,\u00a0Lemonade\u00a0(released this past May), included the single “Dirty Work<\/a>” which has won or been nominated for several awards in Asia this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Along with hits like “Whiplash,” “Drama” and “Supernova” the group is also known for integrating a metaverse and including Naevis<\/a> in their work, an AI pop singer (though Naevis hasn’t appeared on this tour).<\/p>\n At some other locations on the tour, merch pop-up shops have opened, but a Vancouver location has not been announced yet.<\/p>\n There is no opening act for the show, which starts at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Tickets<\/p>\n Some\u00a0tickets<\/a>\u00a0are still available, but there are now budget options for this show. A few resale tickets are selling for as low as $240, but they are few and far between.<\/p>\n Some original tickets are still available, starting at $344 (before fees). Floor and lower bowl tickets are the same price.\u00a0<\/p>\n Transportation<\/p>\n At the time of publishing, TransLink does not have any significant alerts<\/a> affecting SkyTrain and SeaBus service before or after the concert on Sunday, Oct. 11.<\/p>\n Hullo does not have a late-night sailing planned for after the Aespa show.<\/p>\n Restrictions<\/p>\n A few things aren’t allowed in Rogers Arena for the show. Notably, some bags won’t be permitted. All bags need to be under 35 centimetres by 35 cm by 15 cm.
