One mega stage. Every set, one crowd, one sound.

Lineups are always subject to change. Phase 2 artists and the full set-time schedule are announced to the waitlist before anywhere else.

The 6ix Throws The Party It Was Always Meant To

A mela is a celebration — a packed, joyful fair where the whole city shows up. For years our music lived in basements, banquet halls and one-off club nights. The crowd was there. The sound was there. The stage wasn’t.

So we built one. We merged genres and added in the ultimate nightlife experience, and dropped it all at The Bowl. Urban Punjabi meets mainstream hip-hop — on the same bill, in the same city that raised both.

This is the 6ix outside. Everyone’s invited. 2026 is the first edition, 8,000 people with you, infinite six energy.

The Questions

How old do I have to be?

6ix Mela is 19+ — it's a licensed event. Bring valid government photo ID; you'll be carded at the gate and at every bar. No exceptions.

What day and time is it?

One day only — Saturday, September 12, 2026. Doors open at 6 PM and the show runs till 11 PM. Set times drop to the waitlist first.

Where does it go down?

The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium — 1 Shoreham Dr, on the York University campus in Toronto. It's an open-air bowl, steps from the subway.

Can I re-enter if I leave?

No ins-and-outs on this one. It's a single-day event, so once you're in, you're in for the night. Plan your run accordingly.

How do I get there?

Easiest is the subway — Pioneer Village and York University stations are a short walk away. Rideshare drop-off and paid parking are also on site.

Is there parking?

Paid lots are available around York University, but space is limited and transit is faster. Full parking and travel info drops with Phase 2.

What can I bring in?

Small bags, sealed water, sunscreen and good energy. No outside food or drink, no professional cameras, no umbrellas. The full bag policy lands closer to the date.

Is the venue accessible?

Yes. The Bowl has step-free access, accessible viewing platforms, dedicated entry lanes and accessible washrooms. Need something specific? Reach out and we'll sort it.

Is there food and drink on site?

Yes — food vendors and licensed bars are on site throughout the grounds all night. Come hungry.

Is the festival cashless?

Yes — we're tap-and-go. Cards and mobile pay are accepted everywhere on the grounds, and there are ATMs on site if you need cash.

What should I wear?

It's an open-air bowl in September, so dress for the weather and wear shoes you can move in. Layers are smart once the sun drops — and it's a vibe, so show up fresh.

Are lockers / coat check available?

Yes — on-site lockers and coat check are available so you're not carrying your night around. Locations are posted at the gates.

What's the refund / transfer policy?

All sales are final. Tickets may or may not be transferable — that depends on Ticketmaster's policy for this event, so check your Ticketmaster account for details. The festival happens rain or shine, and only buy through the official Ticketmaster link — beware resellers.

Will the lineup change?

It can — lineups are always subject to change. Phase 2 artists and the full set-time schedule are announced to the waitlist before anywhere else.
