The lineup for VCBW 2024 is Lovelytheband, alongside Vancouver favourites Yukon Blonde, Post-Modern Connection, and Black Pontiac.

Black Pontiac

Vancouver indie-pop faves Black Pontiac has spent the last several years slowly but surely developing a cult following throughout the Pacific Northwest. They organize, produce, and promote their own shows, tours, and music in the spirit of their DIY upbringing.

Post-Modern Connection has been making waves in the Vancouver indie music scene. The band draws inspiration from Summer Salt, Hippocampus, Peach Pit, and Vacations to create a particular blend of indie rock, jazz rejects, and surf rock.

Yukon Blonde is another Canadian favourite that started out in Kelowna before calling Vancouver their home. They’ve toured the US and Canada and have played festivals like South by Southwest.

American rock band Lovelytheband is best known for its debut single, “Broken” which was released in 2017 and charted on several US Billboard charts.

Attendees will also be able to indulge in some delicious food from Rebel Rebel BBQ, Super Thai, Planted Love, BKH Singaporean-style BBQ, and more. A Food Truck Food Court curated by the Vancouver Food Truck Society will offer a variety of culinary delights.

“VCBW has been an incredible event in Vancouver for the past decade, showcasing British Columbia as a global leader in craft beer,” said Dax Droski, a VCBW producer, in a release. “After the resounding success of 2023, we’re thrilled to welcome everyone back for another unforgettable experience.”
