Friday Stage Lineup LWAF 2025

Felt the Beat: Friday Stage Lineup Lit Up Celebration Square!

Art is such a beautiful thing. The way groups and individuals expressed feelings and emotions through it never ceased to amaze me. At the Living With Wellness & Arts Festival, we were thrilled to bring a weekend filled with performances from incredibly talented artists who moved, inspired, and uplifted everyone.

We truly couldn’t wait to experience that Friday alongside the amazing people of Mississauga. The lineup delivered on its promise to impress, and by the end of the night, it was clear that everyone walked away believing art is a powerful form of connection - one that unites us through rhythm, song, and celebration.

And that was just one of two incredible lineups planned for a jam-packed festival weekend. So, here’s a look back at the breathtaking lineup that took place on Friday, June 27, at Mississauga Celebration Square …

Their performance was all about friendship, fun, and connection - a highlight of the night.

MAC’s Sauga Rising Stars

The stage lit up with some of the freshest talent in the city! Sauga Rising Stars brought together amazing local performers, each with a unique style and sound.

The night’s showstopper was none other than Manj Musik - internationally acclaimed Bhangra superstar and former frontman of RDB. With a career full of chart-topping hits, Manj brought unmatched energy and charisma to the Celebration Square stage. Blending traditional Punjabi beats with hip-hop, pop, and electronic sounds, he created a dynamic fusion that electrified the crowd.

At the Living With Wellness Arts Festival 2025, Manj Musik delivered an unforgettable performance packed with his biggest hits, infectious rhythms, and signature dance moves.
