Vancouver's post-Christmas dancefloor

Contact is timed with purpose. The two-day festival lands on December 26 and 27, bringing electronic headliners into Pacific Coliseum just as the holiday week might otherwise slow down. Arena bleachers frame a general-admission floor, so the room can move between concert scale and a shared dancefloor.

Built for a broad crowd

The main event is all ages, with a separate 19-plus bar area. That mix makes Contact more accessible than many late-night dance festivals while keeping the programme focused on electronic music. It is a compact indoor winter ritual: two nights, one arena and a direct run of large-room sets.
