Whistler’s Canada Day concert featuring Bahamas, with opening DJ SOUL CLUB

Whistler Olympic Plaza
Opening DJ starts at 6:30 p.m., Headliner at 7:30 p.m.

A masterful songwriter with an uncanny ability to weave humor, heartache, and melody, Bahamas (Afie Jurvanen) has quietly become one of Canada’s most celebrated musical exports. A five-time JUNO Award winner and Grammy nominee, his latest album, Bootcut, a classic-country-infused gem, was nominated for CCMA Alternative Country Album of the Year and has further cemented his place in the pantheon of modern songsmiths. With over 1.5 billion streams and a devoted global following, his music has resonated everywhere from Australia to Massey Hall to the Grand Ole Opry—and even found its way onto ABCs The Bachelor where his California concert was a destination for a fantasy date. Songs like “Lost in the Light” and “All The Time” have become streaming juggernauts, beloved by fans and fellow artists alike, including Taylor Swift, Wilco, kd lang, and BTS. A true road warrior, Bahamas continues to captivate audiences worldwide, and his upcoming performance promises an unforgettable journey through his acclaimed catalog. Listen to Bahamas now on Spotify.
