Cardi B Brings the Drama to Vancouver: Canadian Concerts of the Week

Plus, Ria Mae performs a sold-out show in Winnipeg, synth-pop duo Milk & Bone charms Toronto and Lauren Spench Smith belts out across Southern Canada.

This week, Cardi B is playing the first Canadian date on her world tour in support of her second studio album, Am I The Drama?, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. The New York rapper is playing Vancouver’s Rogers Arena with a nearly sold-out crowd. With multiple No. 1s in the country, she’s set to deliver a captivating performance topped with high-energy and back-to-back chart-topping moments.

Additionally, Halifax’s Ria Mae brings her confessional, catchy tunes to Winnipeg on an intimate string of shows, while Montreal electro-pop duo Milk & Bone plays a night in Toronto. Soulful singer-songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith shines across Ontario and Quebec.
