Spring in Nova Scotia awakens with the ninth installment of Atlantic Canada’s premier festival of free ideas in music and art, the OBEY Convention. Taking place in the city’s parks, churches, libraries, concert halls and night clubs, this year’s festival promises to be our boldest.
Over the course of four days, we will host ten main events alongside multiple free-to-attend happenings. There will be concerts, artist talks, a bell walk, installations, workshops, a multi-city collaboration with Weird Canada’s Drone Day and so much more. Getting everyone involved is important to us. So besides offering a portion of our programme to the public at no cost, for the first time ever, we will be making ALL unlicensed events free to folks under 19. That’s just one new initiative of many.
As always, the festival will host an eclectic mix of local, national, and international artists. To pique your interest, here are just five to consider: underground rap and performance artist Mykki Blanco; New York’s renowned avant-jazz futurists, Zs; Montreal’s bright light in dark minimal wave, Marie Davidson; Berlin’s transcendental metal droners, Nadja; and New Fries, the angular noise-punk heroes of Toronto’s weirdside scene.
Over two dozen more artists will be announced in March. We’ll also bring you info on The Khyber Centre for the Arts standalone visual art festival, Art In Fest. And we’ll tell you about EverySeeker Symposium, a brand new performative lecture series that explores the intersection of sound and other disciplines such as craft, science, psychotherapy, storytelling, dance, and video. There’s much to look forward to at the end of May in Halifax.
A limited quantity of reasonably priced Early Bird Festival Passes are available now through Ticket Halifax.

It is with great appreciation that we acknowledge the generous support of Heritage Canada and Arts Nova Scotia.
