London Mela 2019 this weekend

The 17th edition of the London Mela takes place this weekend in Southall.

The Mela is best known for its adventurous, genre-crossing collaborations with contemporary artists and 2019’s festival raises the bar. Saturday sees Canadian-pop-reggae-R&B, fusion artist Raghav headline the festival, performing his top tracks from his three studio albums including his smash hit ‘Angel Eyes’, whilst one of the biggest UK Asian artists Arjun will headline on Sunday. Born in Sri Lanka, his extensive online following and heartthrob status has secured his place as the most viewed UK Asian artist on YouTube in 2016.

Every year the London Mela goes one further in order to create exceptional, one-off collaborations and exclusive unique experiences for festival go-ers and this year is no different. Specially commissioned by the London Mela, The Great British Desi Collaboration is a collective of the hottest current independent Asian artists including F1rstman, H-Dhami, Juggy D and Mumzy Stranger who will all be hitting up the mainstage with their hit single ‘Dance’ (that has had over two million views on YouTube) and many more.
