Public Disco Festival

Public Disco Festival is a new, full-day, two-stage electronic music festival at the Shipyards District in North Vancouver, brought to you by the team behind Vancouver's favourite summer block parties. Celebrating a decade of Public Disco, this event brings underground electronic music to one of the region's most architecturally distinctive public spaces on the North Shore waterfront.
Headlining the Main Stage is Leon Vynehall (UK), Fred P (New York), Prosumer (UK), and DJ Holographic (Detroit), with support from Vancouver's Dane and Calgary's DJ Hannah. Inside the Pipe Shop Venue, the Vinyl Lounge powered by Lobe Studio features an all star list of local vinyl selectors, alongside live visuals curated by ephemeral objects. A slower room with immersive sound, built for conversation, deep listening, and getting lost in the projections.
