Our Story

NXNE 2026

Music. Discovery. Connection. 

For over 30 years, NXNE has brought together emerging artists, global music leaders, and passionate fans for one unforgettable week in Toronto. What began as a music discovery festival has evolved into one of Canada’s leading music and entertainment conferences — where breakthrough performances, industry conversations, and real-world networking happen side by side.

In 2026, NXNE expands even further with new venues, new experiences, new ways to connect, and more opportunities to discover what’s next.
