Festival goers in Toronto will not be treated to above-mentioned festivals only. The North by Northeast Festival and the Digital Dreams Music Festival will also be held as part of the music events during festival season.

2015 marks the 21th birthday for the North by Northeast Festival. It is a music and arts festival held in June every year in Toronto. It has five themed events this year with music, film, interactive, comedy, and art. The Festival will feature a number of rap artists such as Tink and Kate Tempest.
