NXNE

June 14 – 20 marks the 16th year of Canada’s new music smörgåsbord. The North by Northeast Music and Film Festival spreads across Toronto in a wave of wristband bearing indie music junkies attending over 650 shows at 40+ venues.

This music festival showcases the best of upcoming artists and bands ranging from alternative, hip hop, R&B, Indie, Alt Folk, Rock and Pop Rock. Basically the best things in the bible.

Not only is this a new music extravaganza, it is a music film festival and interactive forum. NXNE Interactive is two presentation filled days discussing technology, social media trends, marketing, advertising, design and emerging entrepreneurs in the entertainment industry.
