NXNE 2011

North By Northeast continues to grow and this year features up to 650 bands taking over T.O. clubs June 13 to 19, plus a ton of panel discussions and music-related films.

Not only is this a great opportunity to discover amazing local bands, but it’s also a chance to catch some of the most buzzed-about new international acts, not to mention a few legends of the past.

Pick up a festival pass ($50) to get the most for your money, including gigs by buzz-saw bubblegum queens Dum Dum Girls, new wave revisionists Twin Shadow, art rock pioneers Devo, underground hip-hop heavyweights the Pharcyde and hometown hardcore heroes Fucked Up.

If you hate standing in line, try a priority pass ($200), and those who are only around for a single night can pick up a one-day wristband ($25). See nxne.com for complete listings and to purchase passes.
