NXNE is just around the corner, but the Toronto music event is still making some last-minute additions to the lineup, with recently revealed participants including Sloan, Billy Talent and the Lemonheads' Evan Dando.
A press release confirms that Billy Talent will headline a free outdoor show at Yonge-Dundas Square on June 15, with other acts playing that day including Millencolin, Big Black Delta, Moon King, Blinker the Star, We Are Scientists, Steve Hill and the Burning Boyz. Other outfits playing Yonge-Dundas Square throughout NXNE include the National, Social Distortion, the Flatliners, Joey Bada$$ and more.
As previously reported, Big Boi will not make it out for his June 16 slot at the venue due to a knee injury.
Sloan will take to Toronto's Great Hall on June 14, with the night also featuring performances from the Super Friendz, Mike O'Neill and a DJ set from former Local Rabbits member Ben Gunning.
Evan Dando, meanwhile, will play the Rivoli on June 15, sandwiched between sets from Elliot Maginot, Mamabalo, Sara Johnston, Steve Hill and Patrick Joseph.
