First Class Fest is landing back in Toronto with its biggest edition yet.
The Canadian underground hip-hop festival will take over The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium on Aug. 28-29, led by some of the genre's most buzzing names.
Friday will be headlined by explosive rising star Osamason and British underground pioneer Lancey Foux, while veteran Lucki and rising star Nettspend are taking the reins for Saturday. The bustling lineup is also graced by Che, Bktherula, Black Kray, UntilJapan, Skaiwater and many more.
Many are acts who have played headline tours and festival slots in Canada over the past year in venues like Toronto's HISTORY, Montreal's MTELUS and the festivals Palomosa and Osheaga. Many also have played tastemaking hip-hop festival Rolling Loud.
After starting out with local concerts in Toronto and Montreal that brought artists like Che and Osamason to Canada for the first time, First Class Fest is upgrading to its first outdoor festival. The festival began in 2022 as way to bring underground rap artists to Canada, where tours often skipped.
There's also a spotlight on Canadian artists, including Sorisa — one of Billboard Canada's 2026 Artists to Watch — Jahsh, Katozai and 10k Moss and Wavy Jack$on, all of whom hail from Toronto.
The Bowl at Sobeys Stadium has a 9,000 capacity and is back after The Feldman Agency venue went quiet last summer.
