London’s popular Asian radio station, Lyca Radio has been confirmed as the exclusive radio partner of the flagship Vaisakhi event, Vaisakhi In Trafalgar Square.

Vaisakhi in Trafalgar Square 2022 will take place on Saturday 16th April, from 13:00 – 18:00. Lyca Radio will be broadcasting from the event live over the five-hours.

Raj Baddhan, CEO of Lyca Media said, “Lyca Radio and Lyca Gold are based in London for all Asian communities residing in London. We are thrilled to be joining hands with the Mayor of London on this flagship and very significant event for the Sikh community. We are pulling out all the stops to ensure we bring our listeners the action from the Square live on-air with a special broadcast on the day between 1pm and 6pm.”
