Cultural revolution starts here

Three days of raw energy, unfiltered creativity, and transformative experiences that will redefine your understanding of art and music

Story

Born from the heart of creative rebellion

Desi Youth Festival (DYF) is more than just a competition – it’s a movement. Born from a vision to celebrate the incredible artistry of South Asian youth across Australia and New Zealand, DYF creates a bridge between our rich cultural heritage and contemporary creative expression.

In a world where young South Asian artists often struggle to find platforms that understand and celebrate their unique blend of traditional and modern influences, DYF stands as a beacon of opportunity. We believe that every young artist deserves a stage, every voice deserves to be heard, and every dream deserves a chance to flourish.
