The headliners
AC/DC - August 13

Guns N' Roses - August 29
Axl, Slash and Duff continue their long-running reunion era with a marathon greatest-hits set. GN'R shows are famously generous, regularly stretching past three hours.
Foo Fighters - September 20
Dave Grohl's stadium machine returns on the Take Cover Tour - three decades of anthems and one of the best live bands of their generation. Read our full preview.
Bruno Mars - October 14–21
The biggest residency of the year: five nights of pop, funk and showmanship from one of the most bankable live performers in the world. A booking that says a lot about Vancouver's appetite for arena-and-up pop.
