About NXNE (North by Northeast) Music Festival

Heading into its 30th year, NXNE is Canada’s leading discovery festival for emerging new music. Designed to support the live music scene in Toronto, NXNE presents 250+ bands in 20+ of the city's best live music venues (June 11-15, 2025) for the ultimate club-hopping experience. With a commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, NXNE makes it a priority to present BIPOC and under-represented Canadians, by eliminating application fees - and by greatly reducing financial barriers for music fans by presenting showcases of at least 5 acts for a very low priced Full Festival Pass. NXNE started in 1995 in partnership with Austin's SXSW and quickly gained a reputation for helping launch the careers of Canadian artists in intimate settings including: Sarah Harmer (1995), Billy Talent (1999), Sam Roberts (2002), Feist (2004), K’naan (2005), The Arkells (2007), The Beaches (2012), Daniel Caesar (2016) Haviah Mighty (2018) and thousands more - and producing successful festivals recognized by live music fans, musicians, media and industry alike.
