One of Vancouver’s most under-rated festivals located right in the heart of East Van (on 1st Ave near Main Street skytrain/science world), Red Truck is kicking off June 17 with 6 great bands on 2 stages – get ready to rock all night with International Australian Electro Synth rock Cut/Copy, as well as great local bands Youngblood and Band of Rascals. There’s still a couple of bands to be announced so who knows what else this great festival will bring that day. Doors at 4pm with festivities until 10pm.
July 15th is Country night, with locals Sykamore, Kristin Bunyan, and Chris Buck Band soon after. The Dungarees, and Nashville country singer Drake White & The Big Fire close off the evening so if you’re into drinking beer, BBQ and country music, this event is for you. Doors at 4pm – 10pm.
The final Truck Stop concert takes place August 12 again doors at 4pm. Lineup for the last show of the summer include American soul artist Lee Fields & and the Expressions, The Real Ponchos, Exco Levi and Vince Vaccaro. Guest/surprise artists still to be announced so stay tuned.
With each show, there’s going to be tons of BBQ as well as food trucks, beer tokens available at the gate so no need to wait in line for your brew – giant ball pong will be set up from 4 pm to 6 pm for those needing a little respite from rocking the stage area. This is one of Vancouver’s best-hidden gems so don’t miss out on 3 weekends of superb music in a great outdoor venue.
