Canada's biggest music fest is always a good time, but this year at
NXNE we decided to kick things up a notch. Rather than taking over some club, AOL took over Yonge-Dundas Square, the heart of NXNE festivities and Toronto itself. Over 23,000 people showed up.
From New Wave pioneers
Devo and
Men Without Hats to white-hot buzz bands like
Cults and
Dirty Beaches, we captured every riff and fan freakout from Saturday, June 19, on camera.
Between the late nights and free cocktails -- not to mention sunstroke -- your memory of NXNE might be a tad hazy, so why not get the recap on our mega-party with theexclusive video below? For those of you who missed out on seeing Devo's Energy Dome hats or head-bobbing to 'Safety Dance' first-hand, here's your chance to get in on the magic.
