Whatever your feelings on the upcoming FIFA World Cup, you can’t deny it’s going to be the talk of the town this summer. 

If hosting seven actual football matches and setting up screenings for every single other game wasn’t enough, Vancouver will be pairing the beautiful game with music. For all of the 28 days of FIFA Fan Festival operations between June 11 and July 19, there will also be live music at the PNE’s Amphitheatre. 

Most of the shows are attached to a day when a match is on, though two—Mötley Crüe and Kx5 (Kaskade and Deadmau5)—are “signature concert experiences”, happening on days when there will not be football matches happening.

“We’ve curated a 28-day program that ensures every fan, whether they are here for the matches or the music, finds something to love,” says Jessie Adcock, Vancouver host committee lead, in a statement. “From the brand-new amphitheatre to the park stage to our immersive cultural programming, the scale of this festival is significant for Vancouver.”

Here are all of the currently announced artists playing the FIFA Fan Festival, which ranges from B.C. talent like Cameron Whitcomb and Fionn to global stars like Flo Rida and Ziggy Marley:

“We’re thrilled to provide a free, accessible space where the world can experience our city’s hospitality and creative spirit,” Adcock adds, which needs an addendum. 

Entry to the PNE-hosted Fan Festival will be free. But only around 2,600 free first-come-first-served spaces will be available on the PNE Amphitheatre’s general floor, with the rest of the 10,000-capacity venue’s seats requiring a paid reservation. The signature shows on July 12 and 17 are paid ticketed events only.

A second stage, the Park Stage, will also have live music, DJs, and community-focused performances—and be available for free for all attendees of the FIFA Fan Festival.
