BOLLYWOOD REMIX

The classics, flipped. Your favourite Bollywood and Punjabi tracks remixed live by DJs, bands, and genre-bending artists who refuse to stay in one lane. Expect Afrobeats colliding with filmi bass lines, hip-hop verses over dholak rhythms, and soca energy that’ll have the whole square moving. And when the night peaks, the whole square comes together for a live Bhajan Jam — 60,000 voices, one chant, under the lights. This isn’t your parents’ Bollywood night — but they’re going to love it too.


SATURDAY JUNE 20 | 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM
BOLLYWOOD UNPLUGGED

12 hours. One stage. Every sound that shaped us. From morning qawwali and classical fusion to afternoon Bollywood anthems, a 20-year DESIFEST medley performed by the artists who grew up on this stage, and an evening of live bands that’ll take you from Ranjha to the dance floor. Bring the family early, stay for the party late. Food vendors, kids activities, and 60,000 people who know every word.

Now in its 20th year, DESIFEST is more than a music festival. It’s a celebration of culture, identity, and sound, bringing together communities from across the South Asian diaspora.

From Bollywood tributes to Tamil beats, Punjabi anthems to underground fusion, and everything in between, DESIFEST proudly showcases the diverse voices shaping the South Asian experience in Canada.
