Vancouver is THE place to be next week thanks to these incredible Contact afterparties

Early next week Vancouver becomes one of the centres of the electronic dance music world thanks to the Contact Festival which for many will be the highlight of their holiday season. Contact is stacked as it features established producers like the trance godfather Armin Van Buuren along with Marshmello, and other DJs that are changing the game like Tchami, REZZ, Alan Walker, Malaa, and more. Thanks to the recently unveiled Contact afterparties (Pictured above), the event hype has gone to a whole new level. 

Not only do fans get a chance to do a double take on their favourite acts, but also allows them to see what else these top DJs have to offer in an afterparty setting. Usually DJs like to change it up for the afterparty: to dig deeper in their discography and showcase tracks not big enough to make their mainstage set, or get to preview a top secret ID that they want to test infront of a smaller crowd. Afterparties are a way to keep the party going but for many music lovers, it's a way to experience their favourite acts in an intimate setting at a cheaper cost. 

This year's Contact afterparties are on point as it features one headliner (Marshmello), and a few established acts that have been selling out venues across the world like Tchami and Malaa from the successful Redemption Tour. Pay special attention to Ekali as he will no doubt deliver a memorable hometown afterparty set.
