FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
It’s a great time to be a music fan in Vancouver. Not only is there a huge list of shows coming to town this year, but one of the city’s iconic venues is celebrating a milestone anniversary.
Fortune Sound Club in Chinatown is marking its 15th anniversary on Friday, June 14, with a stacked lineup headlined by Jamaican Dancehall legend Sister Nancy.
From their on-point hip-hop, punk and indie show bookings to their weekly Monday, Friday and Saturday night parties, Fortune has always been on the cusp of the emerging music scene both locally and internationally.

“When we started Fortune Sound 15 years ago, we saw a need for a cultural space that was more than just another venue,” said Garrett ‘GMAN’ Louie, who co-founded Fortune with Rob Rizk. “We envisioned a place centered around a great sound system and vibrant cultural events.
“Reflecting on our 15-year journey, I am blown away by what our team has accomplished, the events we’ve had, the artists that have performed — it’s truly amazing. I can’t wait for you to see what’s in store for the future of Fortune Sound.”
