Red Truck Concert Series 2026: Lineup, Tickets and Event Guide

Red Truck Beer hosts the Red Truck Concert Series directly beside its diner and brewery. This gives the concert a smaller footprint than a major festival, but it still runs for six hours and features several artists including a headlining set.

In 2026 the Red Truck Concert Series takes place on August 15 from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm. This year marks the event’s 10th edition and continues the newer one-day format rather than the three-date summer series used in earlier years. The 2026 headliner is the Eli Young Band, joined by five supporting acts and a DJ set between performances.

What to Expect

The concert takes place outdoors at Red Truck Beer Brewery in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant area. Although the site is normally a brewery parking lot, the event setup reads more like a contained courtyard, with the stage, food service and audience area all close together. The scale makes it easy to move between the music and the venue’s food service without the long walks that come with a multi-stage festival.

The 2026 edition is built around country and country-rock. Doors open for an afternoon start, the programme runs continuously into the evening and the event closes at 10:00 pm.

Age requirement: The site is licensed so this is a 19+ event. Valid photo ID is required at the gate and for ticket collection.

Tickets and Admission

Tickets for the Red Truck Concert Series are sold in different tiers. At the time of writing this article, prices range from $86.84 to $97.69. Earlier tiers may sell out as the event approaches, and gate sales are available only if capacity remains.

Tip: Buying in advance secures entry if the venue reaches capacity. Gate admission is first-come, first-served and subject to availability.

Red Truck Brewery as a Concert Venue

Red Truck Brewery is located at 295 East 1st Avenue, near Main Street and Olympic Village. The brewery and Truck Stop Diner operate beside the event space, and food service is part of the concert setup. To learn more about the venue outside the festival, see the Vancouver’s Best Places guide to Red Truck Brewery and the Truck Stop Diner.

The venue’s compact layout is the main distinction. This is not a field festival or arena show. The audience gathers in the outdoor lot beside the brewery, so the stage, seating areas and service points stay within a relatively short walk of one another.

Food, Drinks and Payment

Food is available at the event and the Truck Stop Diner. The official listing describes the evening as combining live country music with on-site food and Red Truck beverages. Purchases at the venue are cashless, so guests need a debit or credit card.

Beverage tickets can be purchased online in advance and collected at Will Call with valid photo ID. Guests should check the current event page before arriving because service details and available items can change.

Getting There

Red Truck Beer sits east of Main Street and north of Olympic Village. The area is accessible by transit, cycling and rideshare, which can be easier than looking for parking near the venue during a sold-out event. Main Street–Science World Station is the closest SkyTrain stop, with local bus connections and a walk to East 1st Avenue.

Guests using rideshare should confirm the pickup point after the concert, since traffic and pedestrian activity can build around the entrance at closing time.
