Finding the right people to hang out with, the right things to do, and atmosphere around the night are all important factors in developing Valentine’s Day plans. Luckily, for us ravers, utilizing the positive aspects of these three facets of fun is what we do best. Getting together with people we love, and music we love, creates the perfect vibe for any night, much less Valentine’s Day.
We’re also lucky to live in one of the most loving corners of the country, which just so happens to be filled with incredible venues, artists, and promoters, putting on shows on a regular basis. Valentine’s Day weekend is no different, with shows currently taking place at the Showbox SoDo, Foundation, and Aston Manor, while a certain Mr. van Buuren takes the headliner role at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC.
So, if you’re flailing for plans and aren’t sure which wagon to hitch your heart to this Valentine’s Day, check out our breakdown of each of the shows vying for our affection (and money).

USC Events does love us, and while they show it year-round, it’s still nice to hear it each year on Valentine’s Day. In the past we’ve had headliners like Ummet Ozcan, Jack Beats, and tyDi to open our hearts to, and this year brings another fan-favorite we won’t be missing. Festival-circuit mainstay R3HAB will be joind by trap-studs Milo & Otis, as well as a bevvy of local B2Bs that would make any Northwest-native proud.

We can’t imagine getting together with anyone on a Saturday night that get’s our hearts pounding like Armin van Buuren. The Dutchman is no stranger to the Northwest, and it’s starting to look like he has a thing with Vancouver. The site for numerous unforgettable performances from the Armada Music boss, Vancouver has snagged him again this Valentine’s Day. That’s not all, though, as the show at the Pacific Coliseum will also feature Sander van Doorn, Will Sparks, and Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano.
