Delhi 2 Dublin will be performing right smack downtown on the plaza of the VAG amongst a lineup of impressive artists for Downtown Bhangra. Festivities will begin at 5 p.m. this Friday (June 5) and admission is free. Delhi 2 Dublin will perform at 9 p.m.

Delhi 2 Dublin is Vancouver’s very own Celtic-Punjabi group. Over the years, Delhi 2 Dublin has released eight amazing albums, seizing the power of cultural fusion and becoming one of the most talked about bands in Canada. Band members Tarun Nayar and Sanjay Seran have performed at various VIBC events since the festival’s inception.

Downtown Bhangra takes place both Friday and Saturday, but you’ll want to be there on Friday to catch this special appearance from Delhi 2 Dublin.
