More than 60 Park Stage performers are booked for free concerts during the FIFA Fan Festival in East Vancouver this spring and summer.
The Sheepdogs, Paul Oakenfold, Sam Roberts Band, Blues Traveler and dozens of other headliners and support artists will perform there starting June 11, when the 2026 World Cup men’s soccer tournament gets going.
The free concerts, adding to the previously announced amphitheatre concert series featuring Motley Crue, Kx5, Metric and others, are part of the musically diverse 28-day festival, where Amphitheatre and Park stages will be active.
Multiple performances are scheduled daily at FIFA Fan Festival, hyped as one of the largest live music programs staged in Vancouver in years.
The free Park Stage concerts, revealed Monday (April 27), feature local, national and international artists in a wide range of musical genres, creating “a continuous program of live entertainment between FIFA World Cup match live broadcasts” at the festival.
Tickets for FIFA Fan Festival concerts at the PNE site’s new amphitheatre are sold on vancouverfwc26.ca.
