As for those on the hillside stage, presented by RAPSEASON, one of the UK’s leading rappers, Central Cee, whose known for ‘Loading’ and ‘Doja’, will be taking the stage. British hip-hop duo Krept and Konan and drill artist, K-Trap, will also make their Toronto debuts at VELD 2023.

“We couldn’t be more excited to announce this year’s lineup and celebrate our 10th anniversary with some of our favourite performers from VELD’s past, as well as introduce some new faces and genres to continue to make this the highlight of Toronto’s summer,” said Talal Farisi, Music Director, INK Entertainment Group.

“VELD wouldn’t be what it is today without the fans and incredible artists that have graced the stage over the last decade. We are grateful for all the support and good vibes they bring to the festival every year and are looking forward to that continuing for the next 10 years to come.”

Other names who will be performing on stage include Sofi Tukker, Meduza, and Bob Moses. The three stages at VELD 2023 will offer three different music experiences; electronic dance music on the main stage, house music on the Sirkus Stage, and UK hip-hop and grime exclusively on Friday, August 4th and dubstep and bass for the remainder of the weekend on the Hillside stage.
