Halifax Pop Explosion

Halifax Pop Explosion runs for five action-packed days, so drink whatever coconut waters you have to in order to prepare. Two hundred bands in five days, including Lights, Ghostface Killah & Raekwon, Against Me!, Danny Brown, Swearin’, Rich Aucoin (who also will release his album at his HPX show) and comedy courtesy of Jen Kirkman and Good Morning Tonight. There’s a zine fair, there are panels, there are opportunities to see amazing new bands and make new pals, so take it all in. —SJ
