VELD Music Festival (commonly referred to as VELD) is the largest annual electronic dance music festival in Canada,[1] held at Downsview Park in Toronto, Ontario. Since its inception in 2012, the festival has had a number of notable acts, including deadmau5, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Zedd, Illenium, and Tiesto.
The music festival has three concert stages: the Main Stage, the Bass Stage (formally known as the Rémy Martin Stage), and the Sirkus Stage. The Bass Stage features dubstep, trap, riddim, and other sub-genres of electronic dance music, while the Sirkus Stage hosts mostly house music, such as bass house and tech house.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 editions of the event were cancelled.[2]
