The Wassabi Collective brings their explosive fusion of funk, reggae and world beats back to Toronto for one rare night.

After forming in 2000 and stepping away in 2012, Wassabi Collective spent over a decade crisscrossing Canada in a converted school bus, building a devoted cult following along the way. Known for their progressive world beats, explosive live shows, and infectious feel-good energy, the West Coast crew lit up stages across North Americaheadlining festivals, filling legendary venues, and even landing a feature on PBS Roadtrip Nation . They capped off their initial run with a standout performance at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics before taking a well-earned hiatus.

Led by sultry vocalist/percussionist Melissa Meretsky and frontman/guitarist Brent Gisto Hongisto , Wassabi brings both heart and heatinviting audiences to move, think, and feel. After more than a decade away, theyre making their long-awaited return with the same electrifying energy and spirit of activism that made them festival favourites.

Now theyre backand spicier than ever.
