Vancouver’s summer festival calendar just got a major addition.

Soulrise Music Festival is set to make its debut this August, bringing world-renowned electronic music artist Anyma to Metro Vancouver for his first-ever Canadian performance. 

The one-day waterfront event will take over Ambleside Park in West Vancouver on August 29, pairing sweeping ocean views with a lineup of some of the biggest names in melodic techno and progressive house.

A major debut on the Vancouver festival scene

While Vancouver has no shortage of summer music festivals, Soulrise arrives with serious ambitions.

The inaugural event will be headlined by Anyma and his acclaimed live audiovisual production ÆDEN, a spectacle known for combining cinematic visuals, immersive technology and melodic techno on a massive scale. 

Following recent headline performances around the world, ÆDEN is bringing the experience to West Vancouver’s waterfront for a single-day event.

The lineup will also feature Argy, Kevin de Vries and Korolova, alongside additional supporting acts throughout the day.

A stunning setting by the water

The festival will take place at Ambleside Park, one of the North Shore’s most scenic waterfront destinations.

Soulrise organizers are positioning the festival as a new flagship electronic music event for the region.

The event runs from 1 pm to 10 pm and is restricted to guests aged 19 and older.
