The BC Lions are hosting their third annual Concert Kickoff on June 15th and they’ve just announced that it will be headlined by Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson.
BC Lions Concert Kickoff with 50 Cent
50 Cent hits the stage at 3:00pm on Saturday, June 15th on Save-On-Foods Field at BC Place and the BC Lions will take on the Calgary Stampeders starting at 4:00pm. Tickets are available now.
“It’s an honour to give our great fans the opportunity to see a world class performer who resonates across multiple generations of music lovers. Concert Kickoff has become a great tradition in Vancouver and 50 Cent is our best one yet,” said Lions’ owner Amar Doman.
The day of football fun begins early outside with the Backyard Party starting at 10:30am on Terry Fox Plaza and expanding out to Beatty and Robson Streets. The tailgate party will have fun and games for fans of all ages plus a solid food and beverage menu. Fans 19 and over can enjoy Molson Coors beverages for $5.
OneRepublic was the first to headline the Concert Kickoff in 2022, and last year LL Cool J had the honours. More recently, 50 Cent performed in Vancouver at a sold-out Rogers Arena last September as part of his Final Lap tour.
The BC Lions host Edmonton on Friday, May 31st in another pre-season match up, and they’ll start their season away versus Toronto on June 9th.
