VELD Music Festival (commonly referred to as VELD) is the largest annual electronic dance music festival in Canada, held at Downsview Park in Toronto, Ontario. Since its inception in 2012, the festival has had a number of notable acts, including Deadmau5, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Zedd, Illenium, and Tiesto.
The music festival has three concert stages: the Main Stage, the Bass Stage (formally known as the Rémy Martin Stage), and the Sirkus Stage. The Bass Stage features dubstep, trap, riddim, and other sub-genres of electronic dance music, while the Sirkus Stage hosts mostly techno music.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 editions of the event were cancelled.
