FVDED In The Park 2024 – Day 1
FVDED IN THE PARK 2024 | Day One
Holland Park, Surrey, BC | July 5, 2024
FVDED IN THE PARK, Western Canada’s largest music festival, returned to Surrey’s Holland Park with a bang after a one-year hiatus in 2023. Over the course of two days, this sold-out event drew in 40,000 attendees eager to experience its cutting-edge lineup and state-of-the-art stages. Gone this year were the live screens and supporting lineup of rappers, pop stars, and alternative rock, with the festival re-focusing on the EDM and DJs that have made the event such a success since 2015.
From the iconic Swedish House Mafia to the dynamic duo Kx5 (featuring Deadmau5 and Kaskade), the festival showcased a diverse mix of electronic artists. The real treat was the earlier artists in the lineup, local and emerging musicians who played to smaller, more intimate audiences, across the three stages. Performers like Vancouver’s S@M I @M, the inspirational Marah, and the the madly energetic fan-favourite Rusko created some amazing experiences in that incredible space between the almost-unberable heat and sundown!
Holland Park was buzzing with energy, making for a hot and bustling weekend of music and festivities. We were on hand through most of the weekend, mingling with the crowd and enjoying the atmosphere. We loved the new Forest Stage (despite its direct sunlight and blistering heat) which replaced the FVDED Lab fans might remember from previous years . Another great addition to FVDED this year was the dance teams periodically driving the crowds at the Forest and Northwest stages. Clad in futuristic armor, forest ranger uniforms, and more, these supporting artists brought a lot to show and were a welcome addition to the festiva.! The festival grounds were packed and there were way too much going on to see or hear everything, but we had a blast and can’t wait for next year’s artist announcements and weekend.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On May 10th, Canadian indie rock band Good Kid brought their Can We Hang Out? Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver. The Toronto-born group, known for their high-energy performances and catchy melodies, kept the Vancouver crowd going all night long with their quirky personalities and interactions with the crowd.
The band is touring in support of their first full-length studio album, Can We Hang Out Sometime? — A bright, energetic indie rock record about the importance of staying connected when life feels chaotic.
Good Kid took to the stage around 9:00 pm, previewing the fresh sounds of Can We Hang Out Sometime? Opening with the catchy “Wall”. Instantly, the band had the crowd at their fingertips, singing along to every single lyric and getting the whole venue jumping up and down.
The Toronto group have built one of the strongest artist–fan relationships in modern indie rock by making their audience feel like an active part of the band’s world rather than just consumers of their music. There is an official Good Kid discord server, and they regularly engage with their fans on social media. They’ve also tapped into the gaming/streaming space, letting people use their music without aggressive copyright enforcement and have made a name for themselves in the Fortnite community.
Through the night, the band ran through their hits like “From the Start”, Mimi’s Delivery Service”, “Cicada”, “Summer” and “Bubbly.”
The show was full of antics with a wall of death, playing basketball with a giant beach ball and hula hoops, and even lead singer Nick Frosst at one point joining the moshpit. With a show of hands, it was about half of the venue’s first concert experience, and Good Kid definitely made it one to remember.
One thing is for sure — anytime Good Kid rolls into town, Vancouver is always down to hang out sometime.

The Midnight Bring ‘Time Machines’ Tour to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver
The Midnight turned the Queen Elizabeth Theatre into a glowing neon escape on May 10 as part of their Time Machines tour. Backed by sweeping synths and plenty of saxophone solos, the duo delivered a warm cinematic show.
By the time The Midnight hit the stage at 8pm, the Quennie was packed with fans spanning multiple generations. What stood out right away was how present everyone seemed. Phones stayed mostly down as the crowd soaked in every synth line, beat drop, and saxophone run.
Tyler Lyle was calm and conversational throughout the night, often encouraging singalongs that the audience happily delivered. The setlist balanced older fan favourites with newer tracks from 2025’s Syndicate. Songs like “Friction,” “Jason” performed with Harlee Case of New Constellations, and “Change Your Heart or Die” gave the show an energetic pulse, while “Los Angeles” and “Vampires” brought out the emotional core that has made the band so beloved in the synthwave world.
Visually, the show leaned into rich blues, purples, and neon pinks without going overboard. The production never distracted from the music itself. Instead, it amplified the feeling that The Midnight creates so well: nostalgia for a place that maybe never existed at all.
By the encore, the crowd was singing every word back as the band closed out a night that felt heartfelt and immersive.
