NXNE is one of Toronto’s leading music festivals, known for showcasing emerging Canadian and international artists across the city’s iconic live music venues during Festival Week. Built around discovery, NXNE has helped spotlight artists early in their careers and continues to champion new music, artist development, and access within the industry.

NXNE has partnered with MusiCounts to extend its impact beyond the stage by helping ensure the next generation of artists has access to the tools they need to grow and thrive.

MusiCounts is Canada’s music education charity, associated with The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and The JUNO Awards. They work to build a thriving culture of music education across Canada that prioritizes inclusivity, sustainability, and innovation.

Together, NXNE and MusiCounts are inviting festivalgoers to take part in supporting the future of Canadian music. Donations can be made on-site or added during ticket purchase, with every contribution helping put instruments into the hands of students and supporting access to music education across the country.
