5X Fest is back and celebrating 20 years of culture-shifting magic! From June 12–14, the iconic festival brings four unforgettable events to Vancouver and Surrey, highlighting Panjabi music, art, and storytelling. As a homegrown platform that’s launched global talent, 5X Fest has always acted as the stage to spotlight and elevate emerging South Asian artists in Canada, giving their first performance slots to major artists such as Ikky, Chani Nattan and Inderpal Moga. Don’t miss your opportunity to see your favourite South Asian artists at these free festival events, before they start selling out stadiums and arenas!
