Few things are better than an evening of live music performed by your favourite band.
Vancouver Rocks, a collection of archival images pulled together by our librarian, Carolyn Soltau, certainly helps to prove that point. Including shots that have never been published before, the images show that Vancouver sure knows how to rock.
The Who and other artists that performed in Vancouver in 2025 share the spotlight with figures such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.
The guide also highlights Canadian artists such as Bryan Adams and The Tragically Hip. The images capture the energy of performers and fans, accompanied by insights from music critics past and present, including John Mackie, Neal Hall, Stuart Derdeyn and Greg Potter.
Whether these photos spark personal memories or inspire you to put on your favourite album at home, we hope you enjoy exploring this collection.
