Delhi 2 Dublin are bringing their global sound to the Empress Theatre on Wednesday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. with their South Asian fusion music.
The concert is part of the Empress Theatre’s 2025-’26 Center Stage Series.
For two decades, Delhi 2 Dublin have been creating “Subcontinental Pop,” a high-energy blend of Bhangra, electronic, hip-hop, reggae, and Celtic influences that defies genre and unites dance floors world-wide.
As they celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2026, the band enters a new creative era, re-energized, re-inspired, and releasing new music for the first time in more than six years.
Founding members Sanjay Seran and Ravi Binning continue to lead the charge, pushing Delhi 2 Dublin’s sound and vision to new heights, while balancing legacy with reinvention.
What began as a one-night collaboration at Vancouver’s Celtic Fest in 2006 quickly evolved into a global phenomenon.
Originally conceived as a one-off performance, the explosive chemistry between the musicians sparked immediate momentum, launching Delhi 2 Dublin from underground bass parties and jam-band festival circuits to some of the biggest stages in the world.
From sweaty warehouse raves in Vancouver to being invited to performances in the Kingdom of Brunei, their music has traveled the globe, earning them the reputation for delivering ‘90 minutes of freebasing joy” wherever they land.
The band seamlessly blends acoustic and electronic elements.
Their high-energy sets feature hypnotic dhol, tabla rhythms, deep bass lines, and soaring violin melodies, creating an immersive musical experience.
Their innovative approach has secured top spots on international world music charts, millions of streams, multiple Western Canadian Music Awards, and recognition from major platforms like CBC Music, BBC Asian Network, and PBS.
Tickets are available at www.macleodempress.com, 403-553-4404 or at the box office on Main Street.
