As previously reported, the Club Land portion of North by Northeast's 2017 programming will feature a series of guest-curated shows taking place at venues around Toronto from June 19 to 22 — and the hand-picked lineup of performers has just been announced.
 
The Club Land shows will get underway on June 19 with a Rural Alberta Advantage-approved show at the Dakota Tavern featuring Altameda, the Northern Coast, Jordan Norman and the Wisdom Teeth, and Alex Vissia.
 
That same evening (June 19), Broken Social Scene vet Brendan Canning will put Charlotte Cornfield, Blue Sky Miners, Kira May and Adrian Underhill in the spotlight at the Baby G.
 
Rounding out the programming for June 19, CBC Radio 2 host Raina Douris has compiled the lineup at the Bovine Sex Club, which boasts sets from Blunt Chunks and Pins & Needles.
 
More shows will get underway on June 20, with July Talk's Leah Fay selecting the evening's entertainment at the Baby G, where Tush, Bueller, Regina and Emperor X will all play.
 
Nick Rose of Dwayne Gretzky and Teen Ravine, meanwhile, will be hosting a show that same evening (June 20) at the Rivoli, featuring Vast Asleep, Forces, Twin Within and Evan James Redsky.
 
Shad will take over the Baby G on June 21, ushering in performances by Above Top Secret, Miracles and Max Melanin.
 
Also that night (June 21), just up the road at the Garrison, the Dirty Nil will proudly present sets by Dead Soft, Secret Satanists, Big School and New Love.
 
Club Land will wrap up on June 22, packing in three more showcases on the final day. Ian D'Sa of Billy Talent will bring the Lazys, Crown Lands, the Anti-Queens and Sweatshop Kids to the Horseshoe Tavern; Tasha the Amazon will rope in ZefSideSpinFuck, CRSB x Teo Nio, Danthrax and Jayemkayem to Cold Tea; and Moe Berg of the Pursuit of Happiness will feature Big Tobacco & the Pickers, Olivia and the Creepy Crawlies, Pat Robitaille, and Forty Seven Teeth to the Garrison.
 
A $20 wristband will get you access to all of the Club Land shows, and you can purchase one of those right over here.
 
As previously reported, NXNE's Game Land programming will run from June 16 to 18, while the Port Lands shows are set to take place from June 23 to 25.
