Halifax Pop Explosion (HPX) is proud to announce that The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Fucked Up, Chad VanGaalen, The Thermals, Suuns, Titus Andronicus, and The Rural Alberta Advantage are among the first acts confirmed for its 2011 line-up.
Taking place from October 18-22, HPX is an international music festival and conference that presents 150 bands in 20 venues over 5 days to more than 17,000 fans and industry delegates.

"After last year's massive success, we all sat down and tried to figure out how we were going to top ourselves," says HPX Executive Director, Jonny Stevens. "The 2011 lineup is the result of that mindset. More headliners on more stages with more access via your festival pass and wristband all means that 2011 is going to be even harder to top."
