Rockin' in the FREE World

At last NXNE has rolled into Toronto and the city is rocking.  Just a quick reminder though that some of the best musical entertainment will be taking place at the Yonge-Dundas Square.  For four days and nights of headline concerts, daytime entertainment, a music marketplace, a beer garden, and much more.

This is NXNE’s prime location – They'll even be shutting down Yonge Street for festivities on Saturday June 19th.  Lots of amazing first rate musical entertainment and best of all, it's absolutely FREE!

"Raw Power Got a Healin' Hand"

I love it when the universe sometimes remembers your birthday and an amazing free concert is announced on just that day in the very heart of Toronto.  But Iggy and the Stooges?  Are you kidding me?  And X and Mudhoney two nights before that in the Yonge and Dundas Square.

Someone up there likes me.

Austin, TX you may have your fancy shmancy SXSW  but this year's edition of NXNE, June 14th to the 20th in Toronto is positively stellar.
