With five albums over seven years, Tyler Childers has been a busy man, but he's finding time to tour around Canada and the U.S. right now, including a stop in Vancouver later this week.
Childers will be playing Rogers Arena on Aug. 8, bringing with him a songbook that includes "Whitehouse Road," "House Fire" and his latest hit, "In Your Love."
The Kentuckian has spent a lot of time on the road since last fall but is coming off a short break after playing shows in eastern Canada in early July. He returns to the stage in Calgary on Aug. 6 before arriving in Vancouver.
Opening for Childers is Allison Russell, a Canadian solo artist from Montreal playing a traditional style of Americana music (which has garnered her several Grammy nominations and one win).
Doors
The gates at Rogers Arena should open at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets
A limited number of tickets are still available for the arena show, with around 100 spread across the venue. There are still a handful of the cheapest tickets in the 300 section running about $80.50. Meanwhile, some resale tickets on Ticketmaster are going for face value in the sated are directly in front of the stage for $300 a piece.
Transportation
TransLink doesn't have any major transit service alerts for SkyTrain or SeaBus routes on Thursday night as of the time of publishing.
Hullo does have an extra sailing for Vancouver Island fans, leaving the Vancouver dock for Nanaimo at 11:55 p.m.
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 has gone cashless.
"Concession, retail stands, and hospitality will exclusively accept contactless forms of payment," states the venue'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.
