Halifax Pop Explosion
Halifax Pop Explosion (HPX) is one of Canada's most respected festivals & showcases for new and emerging music, art and culture
HPX is the Halifax Pop Explosion, an international music festival and conference that presents 180 bands in 20 venues over 5-days to over 30,000 fans and industry delegates from around the world.
The first Halifax Pop Explosion was held in September 1993 and was the brainchild of Halifax music impresario Peter Rowan and legendary Halifax promoter Greg Clark. Greg bowed out after the first year to focus on the Birdland Cabaret, and the festival continued to grow with the assistance of artist manager Angie Fenwick, and later with the help of Shelly McPhail. This internationally acclaimed festival drew accolades in Halifax, Canada and around the world.
With over one hundred and eighty bands in almost two dozen venues, as well as ourCreative Technology Conference - Collide, Music Conference, Zine and Label Fair, and much more, the Halifax Pop Explosion continues to reach a diverse audience and provides considerable exposure for new and innovative talent in genres from hip hop to punk, from folk to indie rock.
