The Nottingham Mela celebrates 21 years of organising an outdoor summer festival with everything from dancing Gods to Bhangra-folk beats, showcasing the very best of Bollywood, Bhangra, Dance, Pop, R’n’B, Qawwali and Fusion. At this year's Mela 21 there will be two stages hosted by BBC Asian Network’s top presenters for the event in Nottingham city centre, with performances taking place in Old Market Square’s Main Stage & Fountain Arena, hosted by Adil Ray with DJ Kayper spinning the decks.

The Royal Centre Stage will host a showcase bonanza, promoting the best of local talent from Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands and the UK, with dance performances also taking place at Nottingham Playhouse’s Sky Mirror. The site in Old Market Square will be transformed into a Bazaar hosting many speciality stalls selling Asian arts, textiles, music and freshly prepared Indian food.
