Festival partners with Side Door, Slaight Music and Stingray Radio to support emerging musicians

NORTH BY NORTHEAST (NXNE) has announced its latest wave of confirmed acts as well as key partnerships with Side Door, Slaight Music and Stingray Radio, designed to support emerging artists.

Newly announced acts include Jordan Occasionally (Memphis, TN), Paris Pick (Whitehorse, YK), We Are Domi (Prague, CZ), DESIIRE (Toronto, ON), My Son The Doctor (Brooklyn, NY), Present Company (Minneapolis, MN), MBG (Toronto,
ON), Zenon (Calgary, AB) and dozens more. Full artist list and bios at nxne.com

The just-announced On the Road with Side Door x NNXE incentive program will give artists coming to play NXNE this June the opportunity to apply for a $200 (CAD) guarantee for each of their additional, public Side Door shows, along with the net revenue split from ticket sales.

This program will assist artists in finding more shows, whether touring to and from NXNE or elsewhere in Canada. Promoting a closer connection between people and art in their communities, it will give artists a sustainable revenue stream, directly connect hosts and presenters with talent and give fans access to memorable entertainment. More details on the application process and eligibility criteria can be found here.

NXNE is also partnering with Slaight Music’s “It’s Your Shot” songwriting and artist development competition. Open to all musical genres until May 31, 2023, Canadian artists are encouraged to submit a song and/or video at itsyourshot.ca for a chance to win a grand prize valued at $100,000. Selected artists will also showcase at NXNE. It’s Your Shot is also supported by Stingray Radio.

NXNE takes place June 13 through 17 in 20 clubs across Toronto. Festival passes are on sale now at nxne.com.
