NxNE or North by Northeast is taking over the City of Toronto from June 14th until June 20th as the 16th annual version is hosting 650 bands and 40 films playing at 50 venues over 7 days. This is many things, including a logistical nightmare, but most impressively it is a fantastic example of how the artist community can come together to make anything happen.
