North America’s biggest 19+ South Asian Music Festival. Urban Punjabi meets mainstream hip-hop — one mega stage, one night, the whole 6ix outside.
Toronto · Saturday, September 12, 2026 · The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium · Doors 6 PM – 11 PM · 19+
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.
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.
Pricing subject to increase. Lock in the lowest price the festival will ever be.
Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster, our official ticketing partner — beware resellers. Group and accessibility options available at checkout. Box Suite enquiries: info@6ixmela.com.

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