Beatbox Canada is thrilled to present in one weekend – two championships, and the biggest beatbox event North America has ever seen. From May 29–31, Beatbox Canada will reunite the Official Canadian Beatbox Championships and the internationally renowned Great North Battle into one landmark all‑ages festival called The Great North Beatbox Festival at The Rec Room Toronto.
For the first time ever, both championships will run under one roof, welcoming top vocal percussionists from Canada and around the world for three days.
The festival will showcase elite competitors from Canada, France, the United States, Japan, the UK, Mexico, Chile, and Hong Kong, including nationally ranked artists and returning champions across solo and loopstation categories. The entire weekend is open to all ages, making it a unique opportunity for families and music fans to experience world‑class live vocal performances.
“Bringing the Canadian Beatbox Championships and the Great North Battle together in one weekend is something we’ve been thinking about and the timing is right,” said Scott Jackson, Canadian Beatbox Champion and host of the festival. “This weekend is about community, creativity, and showing Toronto just how powerful and fun beatbox culture can be when the whole world comes together. It’s important to welcome in the next generation of young artists and we look forward to hosting and growing this festival for years to come.”
Founded in 2010, Beatbox Canada exists to unite and grow the national beatbox community, elevate vocal percussion as a respected musical art form, and showcase Canada as a global leader in beatbox culture. Through education, performance, and competition, the organization supports artists while representing the diversity and creativity of Canada on the international stage.
This historic weekend is presented in partnership with SING! The Toronto International Vocal Arts Festival, Canada’s premier a cappella festival.
