North by Northeast (or NXNE) is an annual music and arts festival held each June in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The festival’s main focus has always been live music, but it also includes a film festival, a comedy festival, art components, and a digital interactive media conference. In 2014, NXNE marked its 20th consecutive year with over 1,000 music performers and an overall attendance of 350,000. The 2015 edition of NXNE ran for five days, June 17–21.
NXNE began in 1995, patterned on the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. It has since grown from a three-day discovery festival of mainly local, unsigned, independent artists into a marquee event on Toronto’s entertainment calendar and a cornerstone of North America’s annual festival circuit.

Shot by Daniel Usher & Blake Gouhla
Long-time Toronto scenesters who will always call Halifax home. Rock-radio regulars who maintain strong ties to their indie roots. Money-city maniacs with a soft spot for sweet sugar tunes. Music vets who, instead of coasting on their cred, continue to challenge themselves with each record.

NXNE Art 2013: Johannes Zits
At NXNE 2013 the larger than life character of Johannes Zits performed his six-day marathon piece, 'Looking For Guides To An Alternative' at Toronto's Financial District and Ryerson Quad. Over this period Zits systematically pulled a part the business suit that he was wearing and added it to the tapestry that he worked on throughout the week. Business suited men came and went, stories were exchanged, clothing was donated, and slowly but surely Zits' business suit was shredded.
Throughout the festival NXNE's Lucas Johnson talked to Johannes about his work and festival experience.

This is another boring day I'm sitting on the coach again I'm all alone again You're not here with me To share my time with and I'm all alone again Never ending love... Painful words in my heart tear simply up Never ending love Fill my heart with your love and never let me stop! This is another boring day So now we have some time to fight To make the wrong things right You're not here with me To stand at by my side And make the wrong things right Never ending love... Painful words in my heart tear simply up Never ending love...
