This year's festival is headlined by Imran Khan with other performers including Jassi Sidhu, H Dhami, Apache Indian, Nafees, Kamal Raja and Desi Nach.
Cardiff Multicultural Mela has been organised by a voluntary committee since 2007. The Mela was founded by Imran Iqbal who has chaired the mela committee since its inception.
As of 2010, it is a not-for-profit event itself which has grown steadily into Wales' largest single day multicultural event attracting over 30,000 visitors in 2010.
