This week the North by Northeast (NXNE) music, film and interactive festival has stormed the streets of Toronto. Modeled after Austin’s South by Southwest, the Canadian showcase is now in its seventeenth year, running from June 14th – 20th.

Over five hundred and fifty bands will perform at more than fifty venues. Although the majority of bands are Canadian, featuring artists such as Sloan and K-OS, there are major headliners coming from all over the US and World.

This year, the NXNE star studded line up includes: Iggy and the Stooges, Eagles of Death Metal, The Ravonettes, De La Soul, Mudhoney, X, Les Savy Fav, Jim Cuddy, Avi Buffalo, and The Soft Pack.
