22 Artists You Need To See At NXNE 2018

Surprise: The summer blowout known as NORTH BY NORTHEAST is upon us. The Toronto affair kicks off this weekend (June 8th-17th) with this year’s edition being a return to form — subbing out the “sad boy” appeal of Port Lands (R.I.P.) for another city-wide take that’s hooked on sounds. The Festival Village features notables like Chvrches, Jazz Cartier, and Tinashe but there’s also Osheaga’s block party, Prince Innocence x The Unlovable, Saya’s pop-up at The Libertine, and that Secret Songs function that’s just flat out bonkers. There’s a lot to love, so here are our picks for NXNE’s best kept secrets.
