The Toronto artist is set to light up Casa Mezcal with his high-energy summer anthem as the city comes together for a celebration of homegrown music, culture and creativity.
TORONTO, ON — August 2026 — Toronto’s summer soundtrack is getting one more high-energy moment, and Michael Onabolu is bringing the anthem.
On Sunday, August 30, the Toronto artist will take the stage at the fifth annual (416) Show, delivering a live performance of his latest single, “Jump,” as artists, DJs, creatives and music lovers gather at Casa Mezcal Toronto for an afternoon and evening dedicated to the city’s independent music scene.
Known for bringing an energetic presence to his music, Onabolu is stepping into the spotlight with “Jump” — a movement-driven track that captures the energy growth, planting seeds and being THE BEST "M-E" of summer and is made to be experienced with a crowd.
Michael Onabolu: Bringing “Jump” to Life
For Onabolu, the (416) Show represents more than another performance date. It’s an opportunity to bring “Jump” from the recording into its natural environment: a live Toronto crowd.
The track’s upbeat energy and celebratory spirit make it a natural fit for an event built around movement, growth and community. With the summer season nearing its close, Onabolu’s performance promises to bring one more burst of energy to the city before the season changes.
Rather than simply performing a new release, Onabolu has the chance to turn “Jump” into a shared live experience; connecting with an audience that is there to discover new music, celebrate Toronto talent and enjoy the final stretch of summer.
A Toronto Artist on a Toronto Stage
The (416) Show, presented for the fifth consecutive year, brings together a wide-ranging lineup of Toronto-based artists and DJs, creating a platform for the city’s independent creative community.
This year’s lineup includes AZULA, NIVEEN, AEZREL, KARL GUTOWSKI, SASKY MALI, ROBBIE FINNEGAN, NAYARA, NOETIKO, JESUS GUGGENHEIM, OG GRIPS, YOUNG JOHN Q, N3S, EM LOURDE, KING CONTIOUS and MICHAEL ONABOLU.
The event’s eclectic lineup also reflects what makes Toronto’s independent scene so distinctive: different sounds, cultures and creative perspectives sharing the same space.
One More Jump Before Summer Ends
On August 30, Michael Onabolu will bring “Jump” to the Casa Mezcal patio, surrounded by fellow Toronto artists, DJs and a crowd ready to celebrate.
For one Sunday, Toronto’s Six will have a soundtrack.
