Nina Nastasia live in Vancouver

Experience Nina Nastasia live on August 23rd

Nina Nastasia is scheduled to perform at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver, British Columbia on August 23, 2026. Nastasia’s music is often described as alternative folk, characterized by its intensely personal and often dark lyrical content, delivered with a distinctive, fragile vocal style. Her arrangements frequently incorporate unconventional instrumentation – including found sounds, strings, and subtle electronic elements – alongside more traditional acoustic guitar. She released her debut album *Nina Nastasia* in 1997 and has since cultivated a dedicated following through consistent independent releases and touring.

The Rickshaw Theatre, located on Hastings Street in Vancouver’s Chinatown neighbourhood, originally opened as a cinema in 1913. It operated under various names – initially as the Regent Theatre – before transitioning into a live music venue in the late 1980s. The space underwent significant renovations in 2008 following a fire, reopening as the Rickshaw Theatre and retaining much of its historic architectural detail. It's known for hosting a diverse range of performers spanning genres like punk, metal, indie rock and electronic music, and boasts a capacity of approximately 500 people.
