Veld Festival tends to be better known for EDM than anything else, but this year it has a headliner big enough to outshine any of the big-tent electronic acts: Cardi B. The rapper might be the biggest name in music right now, with a Midas touch ability to jump on any song and make it a hit.
Right next to her on the festival poster, though, are some very big names in EDM: Kygo (who recently played Scotiabank Arena), Tiësto and the titan of out-of-season loud and wobbly dubstep, Skrillex.
The genre specialization might be why this mega-fest has survived the great Toronto music festival purge of the last few years. The rest of the lineup is filled with pop-out names in both hip-hop and electronic music, including Jaden Smith, Alesso, Kodak Black, Loud Luxury, Zeds Dead, Murda Beatz and a lot more. There will be three stages, including a one-day “stage takeover” by Australian label Catch & Release curated by DJ Fisher.

Veld takes place Saturday-Sunday, August 3-4 at Downsview Park. General admission and VIP passes go on sale Friday, March 22 at veldmusicfestival.com.
