Toronto’s beloved community festival returns to It’s OK* Studios September 21-23 with a stellar seventh edition featuring an all-star lineup of diverse, genre-defying acclaimed local and international artists.

This year’s lineup includes not one, but two Grammy Nominated artists, the city’s - possibly the country’s - first Queer Filipinx Country project, an artist critically acclaimed by Polaris, Pitchfork, NME and NPR, and an artist whose upcoming record is being produced by a member of Portishead.

Headlining this year's Fest are multi-Grammy Award-nominated, Juno Award-winning musician, poet, singer, songwriter, and activist Allison Russell, Grammy Award-nominated jazz phenom Georgia Anne Muldrow, and Bay Area vintage garage-rock quartet Shannon and the Clams.

Also joining Venus Fest 2023 are genre-bending and gender-defying Toronto artist, CJ Wiley; Somali-Canadian doom-soul artist and mental health advocate, Ladan, whose soon-to-be released album is being produced by Portishead’s Adrian Utley; Edmonton-born Métis singer-songwriter, Sister Ray; and Louie Sanchez, the all-new, and possibly only, Queer Filipinx country artist in Canada.
