North by Northeast (NXNE) is Canada’s biggest and most important music festival. During the past decade, NXNE has developed a worldwide reputation for discovering and exposing new and emerging talent to music fans and industry professionals.
The Music Festival spans 3 nights of performances, with almost 400 showcasing bands at 25 live music venues in downtown Toronto. Club-hopping fans have had the opportunity to see break out performances from artists such as DKT/MC5, Sam Roberts, Sarah Harmer, Ambulance Ltd, K-OS, Gord Downie and many, many more.
Make connections at the NXNE Industry Conference. Panels, roundtables, workshops, seminars, and always controversial speakers such as Patti Smith, Danny Goldberg, Steve Earle, Andrew Loog Oldham, John Lydon, and Wayne Kramer of DKT / MC5. It's the essential gathering for anyone looking to learn more about the music business, from a rookie manager to a grizzled rock veteran.
The NXNE Film Festival offers a unique program of music related feature films, documentaries and shorts. Now in its fourth year as a component of the entire NXNE experience, the film fest provides an extra dimension to the NXNE experience.

We open the 9th annual Toronto photography festival with a question that has been debated since the creation of the medium and continues to perplex us as technology expands the possibilities of image making. Photography’s relationship to reality is continually transformed as we stage, fabricate and replicate scenes which, at first glance, appear to be taken straight from reality – but are they truthful representations? CONTACT 2005 explores this question through exhibitions, films, events and installations highlighting the relationship between vision and knowledge. With over 400 Canadian and international artists and photographers exhibiting at more than 170 venues, CONTACT challenges the ability of photographs to reflect the truth and the ingenuity of our audience to interpret them.
As the distinction between photojournalism and art blurs, the emotional power of the photograph continues to expand. Stripped of the captions traditionally used to guide the viewer, public installations of photography on the street and in the subway animate city spaces in thought-provoking ways. The festival’s 21 feature exhibitions, selected by a jury from an open call, reflect the strength and diversity of photography in this year’s festival. Essays by prominent writers, illustrated with compelling pictures, eloquently articulate the questions underlying our theme. Our international film programme, “presenting truth at 24 frames per second,” follows photojournalists risking their lives to expose injustice, explores obsessions with photography and examines the world of celebrity, style and fashion.
