OPENING GALA
The MIG 2025 Opening Gala will serve as the opening ceremonies for the Games and will offer athletes the chance to meet fellow competitors and enjoy an evening of celebration and culture.
We’re thrilled to announce that our headliner for this year’s opening ceremony will be KEHIW.
KEHIW is a Tsuut’ina DJ, producer, and creative visionary whose sound merges Indigenous influence with the pulse of underground electronic music. Now based in Los Angeles, his sets are genre-fluid, globally inspired, and charged with raw emotional depth.
Shaped by his time in Toronto’s underground scene, KEHIW developed a distinctive style that blends storytelling, rhythm, and intention — driving his commitment to both musical craft and cultural representation. Deeply connected to the roots of house, techno, and queer club culture, he centers Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ communities in every performance.
KEHIW isn’t just playing music — he’s curating space, building community, and pushing boundaries with every beat.
