Welcome to the first release of Vancouver Rave Radar! I’ll be compiling a list of EDM events happening in the area, as well as keeping you updated on BC festivals. I’ll do my best to describe the genres/vibe of each event!
If the location is listed as “TBA” it means that it’s held at a secret venue and it will sent out to ticket holders closer to the date/day of.
This is something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while so I’m excited to actually bring it to fruition 😊 thanks for subscribing! Let’s get to ittttt
