Soundwave Music Festival 2026 — Where Bollywood meets Bass
About this Event
SOUNDWAVE FESTIVAL 2026
Bollywood × EDM × House — Toronto's first full-scale South Asian music festival.
Saturday, September 12, 2026 · Festival Terrace at Parc Downsview Park
One open-air day where the records that raised a generation meet the basslines that move it now — dhol and drops, tabla and techno, every anthem rebuilt for a festival field of thousands. From golden afternoon to neon night, with world-class production and a crowd that finally has a festival of its own.
One festival. Three worlds.
- EDM — Indo-electronic, Indian bass, festival-mainstage energy. The sound of South Asia's biggest producers.
- House — Indo-house, Bollytech, bolly-afro. The genre redefining Bollywood club culture worldwide.
- Bollywood — Film soundtracks reborn. Anthems rebuilt for a crowd of 5,000.
