North By Northeast Music + Film Festival

About Me

Now in its 14th year, North by Northeast is Canada's 1 showcase for the best new independent music and music-related films.
For four days and nights every June, NXNE takes over Toronto to present the hottest bands, the coolest films, and the newest music-biz ideasâ€”all within a few km of each other. This year's event will be held from June 12-15. Last year, 70,000 music junkies flooded Toronto's famous club district for the festival. North by Northeast is a feeding frenzy for fans, a must-do for performers, and a vital gathering for international music & film industry execs.
The Music Festival gives 500 local, national and international artists the chance to rock the crowds and to showcase for agents, talent buyers, media, promoters, labels and management company heavies at a variety of essential downtown venues. While many NXNE performers have hit the fest's 40 club stages on their way to major international breakthroughs, other high-profile acts join the fray to help make NXNE essential and eclectic. Festival alumni include Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Dinosaur Jr., Feist, The Dears, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Pere Ubu, Sufjan Stevens, Patrick Watson, Kathleen Edwards, Ron Sexsmith, K'naan, Jason Collett, Sarah Harmer, and Sum41 etc.
The NXNE Conference attracts over 2,300 delegates for celebrity interviews and music-biz panels that ask tough questions and dish out straight answers. Our demo-listening and mentoring sessions tell you what you need to know to keep your career going deep into the 21st centuryâ€”no "Idol" fluff here. Past speakers include Police drummer Stewart Copeland, head Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten, guerrilla songwriters Steve Earle and Bruce Cockburn, and Stones' ex-guru Andrew Loog Oldham.
At the same time, the NXNE Film Festival screens the best music movies, from concert classics to the latest indie docs from Rio to Rwanda.
All the buzz bounces back to the rest of the world via correspondents from international media like the BBC, Vanity Fair, and the New York Times, who join Canadian journalists at prime festival showcases. Over 600 accredited media covered last year's NXNE festival.
