This year NXNE launched a brand new lakeside live music, festival venue on the east side of Toronto. Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18 they presented a complete, immersive festival experience in a brand new concert site, across the street from the old Sound Academy, 51 Commissioners Street, at the corner of Cherry Street and Commissioners Street.

Friday was co-presented by Manifesto and was heavy on hip hop with artists like Shamir, Ghostface Killah and headliner Schoolboy Q!

They had a bunch of awesome food trucks,as well as art installations, cool activations and summer sun soothing beer gardens. Mmmmmmmmmm beer!!!

We got 3 tacos for 12 dollars from one of the food trucks! They were legit!
