Now in its 16th year, the London Mela has become a highlight of London’s festival diary. This artistically-led celebration of Asian culture features two days of international and British Asian artists, complemented by a mouth watering Tastes of Asia food market and Magic Mela area for children and their adults. What better way to celebrate the Mela’s move to Southall – the home of Bhangra – than to feature its very own Sounds of Southall on this year’s main stage. They will be joined in the line-up by legends of music including Apache Indian, Attaullah Khan, Panjabi Hit Squad and many more. The show ends with a spectacular finale – BHANG! featuring Dhol Academy and Walk the Plank. Open to all, this free fun festival is suitable for the whole family to enjoy. Don’t miss it!
