North by Northeast

NXNE at YYZ

From June 12-15 Toronto will be hosting the 14th North by Northeast (NXNE) extravaganza, a new music festival and conference much like Austin’s infamous annual South by Southwest event.

The festivities will take place in 40 Toronto venues, including clubs, parks, record stores and, this year, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

The airport performances, dubbed “NXNE at YYZ,” have already begun and will continue through June 13th with bands from around the world performing daily on stages in the arrivals area of both airport terminals.
