INDIE WEEK CANADA KICKS OFF
OCTOBER 7TH, 2009
DOWNTOWN TORONTO
Indie Week prides itself on being an artist-friendly festival that provides valuable opportunities for networking, exposure, and education through industry panels and seminars mixed in with artist showcases. All showcases have been judged by industry professionals in A&R, management, productions, legal, etc. - meaning accepted artists perform in front of industry. The festival is strategically scheduled to take place the week after Pop Montreal and before Pop Explosion Halifax and CMJ (New York) - giving international and local acts an opportunity to maximize their touring budgets & planning by having an opportunity to take part in more than one festival during the month of October.
