Warner Bros. is celebrating its 100th birthday with a candlelit Vancouver concert

“You’ve always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.”

“You Shall Not Pass!”

“I’m Batman.”

Some of the greatest cinematic moments of the past century have been provided to fans by Warner Bros. Studios, with iconic characters like Scooby Doo, Willy Wonka, and Wonder Woman brought to life onscreen.

In celebration of the studio’s 100th anniversary, a candlelight Warner Bros. tribute concert is coming to Vancouver this spring.

The one-of-a-kind musical experience will be put on by Fever, with two evening shows on Friday, June 9.
