Foster the People plays Vancouver on June 25

The sun is shining, which means it’s time to park your posterior on a blanket for an outdoor concert. The Temper Trap brings alternative indie rock to Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl (Jun. 19).

Other highlights at the outdoor venue: The National (Sep. 9 and 10), Scissor Sisters (Sep. 16), Tegan & Sara (Sep. 24) and The Flaming Lips (Sep. 26).—Sheri Radford
