🎉 i-Land Fest is less than ONE MONTH away, and we're excited to unveil the lineup for our biggest festival yet!

This year, we've intentionally spread steel pan performances across all three days of the festival because steel pan is at the heart of Caribbean culture, and we want visitors to experience its magic throughout the entire weekend.

Making their i-Land Fest debut, we're thrilled to welcome CaribFlaymez from Edmonton, showcasing the Caribbean tradition of Moko Jumbie (stilt walking), and Ashley Ali, a gifted solo steel pannist from Toronto.

We're also excited to introduce several mainland-based Caribbean artists to the i-Land Fest stage for the first time, including Sweet Pan, Jenelle Reid, TugStar, DJ Damien, and DJ Palancer.

And this is only part of the story.

From beloved Victoria favourites and returning festival favourites, to international performers and featured Soca Train artists from across Canada and the Caribbean, this year's festival is shaping up to be our most diverse and exciting lineup yet.
