Canadian music icons 54-40 join Community Day

We’re pleased to announce celebrated West Coast rock band 54-40 as the headline act at Community Day presented by RBC Royal Bank on Saturday, June 15. The iconic Canadian band will perform a selection of their hits on the RBC Main Stage to conclude the Community Day celebration.

Launched in an East Vancouver bar in 1981, 54-40 boast three platinum-selling albums: Dear Dear, Smilin’ Buddha Cabaret, and Trusted By Millions, and one Canadian gold-selling album, Since When.  They will be touring across Canada later this summer. 54-40 were inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame in 2017.

54-40 will be preceded by several local Vancouver artists throughout the day, with two main stages providing a diverse mix of music and entertainment for all ages.
