OBEY Convention

The OBEY Convention presents a festival of contemporary and underground music and art in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia each spring. Incorporating artists from multiple genres and disciplines, our tightly curated programme is like no other in the country. Audiences see the best in electronica, avant-rock, jazz, modern composition, noise, ambient, visual art, spoken word and beyond. Join with us to celebrate the fringes of culture and the power of new ideas.

This year’s festival will include Philly’s post-bounce clubshaker DJ Haram, French Japanese hydro-conceptualist Tomoko Sauvage, PAN’s contrarian collagist Eartheater, legendary Australian shattered glass blower Justice Yeldham, trans Algonquin pop auteur Mich Cota, bitchpunk sound theorist Debby Friday, elastic post-boppers The Brodie West Quintet, Toronto’s astral-classic beat chemist Korea Town Acid, The Canadian premier of NYC’s piano-bending mystic Kelly Moran, junked trance duo 75 Dollar Bill, brutal UK rainbow rockers Guttersnipe, Toronto’s rising club punks Just John x Dom Dias, and veteran composer Mary Jane Leach’s ethereal take on NYC downtown aesthetics. Vital White Mountain Apache violinist Laura Ortman is joining too, alongside Finnish-born Glaswegian dream-weaver Cucina Povera, chill-soul triple-threat Strange Froots, power-vocalist Soeur Acéphale, and Montreal bodygoths Dregqueen.
