Welcome back! NFF is our (formerly) annual celebration of loud, cathartic, passionate DIY punk bands from across Canada and the world. With a new venue, more stages, and more bands than before, we hope to make this our most special fest yet.

 

The festival operates on an ethos of creating a mutually empowering atmosphere free from sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia and other forms of oppression. New Friends DIY aims to encourage a diverse artistic scene in Toronto and elsewhere, where audience members can see themselves and their identities reflected in the performers they see on stage.
