Deadmau5 and Avicii to headline electronic music fest in Downsview Park

Fans of electronic music, this one’s for you. Some of the world’s biggest DJs will be heading to Toronto for a huge music fest in Downsview Park this summer.

Headlined by Toronto’s Deadmau5 and Swedish DJ Avicii (of “Seek Bromance” fame), the Veld Music Fest will take over the massive park on Aug. 4 and 5, adding yet another festival to Toronto’s already busy summer season. 

The complete lineup has just been announced and also includes Steve Angello, Bassnectar, Knife Party and Steve Aoki.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Thursday (April 26). Standard two-day tickets range in price from $70 to $130, depending on how quickly you buy them. There’ll also be 3,000-person 19+ VIP area, which will set you back up to $300. (Still, you get better washroom facilites, or so we hear.) 

You can pick up tickets at Play De Record, Soundscapes and Rotate This or at the Veld fest website.
