FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver – Lazy Syrup Orchestra
The FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver kept the celebration of the FIFA World Cup 2026 rolling on June 13, bringing together soccer fans, live music, and a packed day of entertainment in the heart of the city. With matches screening throughout the afternoon and evening, the festival once again transformed PNE into a gathering place for supporters from around the world.
Saturday’s schedule featured three international match broadcasts, beginning with Brazil vs. Morocco (1-1) in the afternoon, followed by Haiti vs. Scotland (0-1) and Australia vs. Türkiye in the evening. Between matches, festivalgoers were treated to live performances across the festival grounds, creating a lively atmosphere that blended sport, culture, and music.
One of the highlights of the day was Vancouver’s own Lazy Syrup Orchestra, who performed two sets on the Amphitheatre Stage. Known for their energetic fusion of Balkan, Latin, funk, and world music influences, the group brought an infectious energy that quickly drew a crowd. Their vibrant performance had fans dancing throughout the set and provided the perfect soundtrack between World Cup action.
We were on site to capture Lazy Syrup Orchestra‘s performances, and the band’s colourful stage presence matched the festival’s upbeat spirit. From families enjoying the afternoon sunshine to dedicated soccer fans gathering ahead of the evening matches, the crowd embraced everything the Fan Festival had to offer.
With live music, international soccer, food vendors, and entertainment throughout the day, June 13 showcased exactly why the FIFA Fan Festival™ is one of Vancouver’s must-visit destinations during the World Cup.

FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver – The Funk Hunters & Dear Rouge
The FIFA Fan Festival™ in Vancouver kept the World Cup excitement rolling on June 12 with a full day of soccer, live music, and community programming at the festival grounds. Fans arrived early for the opening match between Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina (ending in a 1-1 tie), creating a lively atmosphere as supporters packed in to cheer on the home side and soak up the tournament energy.
Beyond the match screenings, the festival offered plenty of entertainment throughout the day. Local performances from Famous Players and Side One helped keep the crowd engaged during the afternoon, while Down With Webster brought a dose of Canadian nostalgia later in the day. The combination of live music and World Cup action made the Fan Festival feel like much more than a viewing party, giving visitors reasons to stay long after the final whistle.
The evening belonged to Vancouver favourites Dear Rouge and electronic duo The Funk Hunters. As the sun began to set over the festival grounds, both acts drew large crowds eager to celebrate the start of the weekend. Dear Rouge delivered their signature mix of indie rock and synth-pop, while The Funk Hunters closed out the night with an energetic set packed with danceable beats that had fans moving from start to finish.
With soccer on the big screens, local talent on stage, and thousands of fans gathering in one place, June 12 showcased exactly what the FIFA Fan Festival™ is all about: bringing people together to celebrate the game and the culture surrounding it.
