Five Finger Death Punch is bringing a massive show to Vancouver as part of their ongoing world tour.
Currently on their North American branch, the Las Vegas-born band is coming to Vancouver on Tuesday, Aug. 27 along with a notable opening act.
Five Finger Death Punch have been around for nearly 20 years, putting out nine studio albums, the most recent of which, AfterLife, topped American and European hard rock charts.
On tour with Five Finger Death Punch is Marilyn Manson (the band and the singer). The long-time industrial and goth rocker, who's been a controversial figure for decades (most recently over abuse allegations), has put out 11 studio albums including the critically well-received 2020 release We Are Chaos.
Also on the bill are bands Slaughter to Prevail, a Russian deathcore band now based in Florida, and The Funeral Portrait, an emo act out of Atlanta.
Early start
Doors to the show open quite early at 5:30 p.m. The show starts at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets
Only a handful of tickets are available for the show, and most of them are resale offerings. However, prices aren't as high as other recent concerts at Rogers, with quite a few of the limited tickets available selling for under $100 (and as low as $76). For those who want to be in the pit, though, things are a bit more expensive, running about $300.
Transportation
TransLink has not announced any alerts, delays, or additional service which will affect trips to or from the concert in any meaningful way.
Hullo doesn't have a late-night sailing for fans on Vancouver Island.
Restrictions
A few things aren't allowed in Rogers Arena for the show. Notably, some bags won't be permitted; all bags need to be under 35.5 cm by 35.5 cm by 15.2 cm. For reference, 35.5 cm is just a bit over 13 inches.
Rogers Arena is also a smoke-free zone, as far as cigarettes and cannabis are concerned. The band may have smoke machines.
Other common-sense items, like skateboards, selfie sticks and outside food and drinks, should be left at home.
Cashless venue
Rogers Arena is a cashless venue.
"Concession, retail stands, and hospitality will exclusively accept contactless forms of payment," states the arena's website.
Fan service
Rogers Arena has a fan service number to text if there are any issues during the show: 604-765-3267.
Concert-goers can text their issue and their location (seat number and row along with the section) and get help.
