North By Northeast (NXNE) is a northern reaction the South By Southwest festival. No affiliation between the two, but somewhere along the way, someone said, "why don't we do one too?" And so the story began for NXNE. 3 nights, almost 400 bands in 25 clubs in Toronto, accompanied by non-stop panels, roundtables, workshops, seminars, and speakers for those who actually wake up while there's still daylight.
