Mark the date for the biggest dance party the Filberg Heritage Park has ever seen! This second concert in the 2015 Filberg Park Concert Series will welcome the high energy global rhythms of one of Canada’s hottest festival acts!
Delhi 2 Dublin (D2D) was a happy accident born out of Vancouver’s Celtic Fest in 2006. Their sound started as an electronic fusion between bhangra beats and Celtic fiddle and has since grown into anything from dub reggae to breakbeats to just straight-up happy dance music.
Founded by Tarun Nayar (of Beats Without Borders), Sanjay Seran (from live bhangra act Signia), and Ravi Binning (a bhangra dancer and dhol player), it was obvious D2D had something people wanted. Word spread about their astonishingly energetic live shows and tours grew to include festival performances in Europe, Asia and Australia. The band has kept up with the pace, producing a new album bi-annually since their inception.
This concert is proudly sponsored by ScotiaMcLeod/Keil Wealth Management and co-promoted by Elevate the Arts and the fine folks at Cumberland Village Works who have brought these guys to the Valley for some amazing shows over the years! Grab your friends, bring the kids (under 12 are free!), bring a blanket and a picnic or come early for a delicious dinner and special concert menu from Tria Fine Catering at Teahouse (aka Beer House). Reservations are recommended. Gates open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7. Be prepared to dance!
