All the way from New Orleans, the $uicideboy$ are coming to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»this week, and they're bringing a few friends.
The trap and hip-hop duo is heading north of the border for a show at Rogers Arena on Friday, Aug. 23, showcasing their underground rap to a big crowd.
While they've racked up billions of listens on Soundcloud, Spotify and YouTube the pair ($crim and Ruby da Cherry) still don't garner much mainstream radio play in Canada. Despite that, they've nearly sold out Rogers Arena.
Coming with $uicideboy$ for the Grey Day 2024 show are Pouya, Haarper and Shakewell, along with local act Ekkstacy.
Show time
Gates for the show open at 6 p.m.
While the show hasn't sold out yet, it is getting close. There are sections available looking from the side onto the stage, and then a few seats spread out throughout the arena.
Tickets aren't cheap though; currently, the lowest-priced seats on Ticketmaster are around $150 each, but that's only a handful of resale tickets. Beyond that, there are a fair number of tickets still available for under $200.
On the flip side are the floor tickets. Access to the standing area in front of the stage is running nearly $600 apiece.
Transportation
Hullo Ferries has added a special late-night sailing for the show, departing from the docks in front of the convention centre at 11:55 p.m. and arriving in Nanaimo at 1:15 a.m. It's also for people going to the Brad Paisley concert at the Pacific Coliseum.
TransLink has not announced , delays, or additional service which will affect trips to or from the concert in any meaningful way.
