PHOEBE BRIDGERS: Lost Weekend Planetarium Experience

The H.R. Macmillan Space Centre & The Dome proudly present, in collaboration with Spotify, Laser Fantasy, and Babak Tafreshi: The Phoebe Bridgers Lost Weekend Planetarium Experience

Ahead of its worldwide release on August 14th via Dead Oceans, Phoebe Bridgers’ newest album Lost Weekend will debut in full inside planetariums around the globe, including Vancouver.

Each listening session pairs the album with one of two original visual accompaniments: a custom dome show designed by renowned night-sky photographer Babak Tafreshi, or a unique immersive laser show designed by Laser Fantasy.

Both presentations offer their own atmospheric perspective that turns your first listen into a shared sonic and visual experience.

Note: This is not a performance, and Phoebe Bridgers will not be in attendance.

Presented in partnership with Spotify.
