What are our partners saying?
“Being part of HPX ’11 was GREAT! It came together last minute but worked out so well. RDIO looks forward to talking about being part of HPX next year again for sure.” – Joe Armenia, Marketing at RDIO
“We are thrilled that the Lixar name and brand is associated with a first class organization that actually gives a s*#t about quality, experience and loyalty. HPX treats its music fans and partners like we treat our IT clients … with respect, new & innovative ideas and creative solutions that keeps them coming back year after year!” – Shelley Fraser, Marketing Manager at LIXAR IT
“Our participation in Halifax Pop Explosion was excellent for our company as it helped us gain considerable numbers of new clients and positioned us as the go to festival management application in Canada. The business we garnished through this sponsorship was more than 10 times the cost associated. A big win for sure!” - Darren Gallop CEO Marcato Digital
What are the media saying?
“Halifax Pop Explosion has built up a reputation that rivals similar Canadian street-level venue-hopping music festivals like Toronto’s NXNE and Pop Montreal and that’s due in a large part to the adept mix of high profile touring acts and quality east coasters” - Now Magazine
“2011 wasn’t just the biggest year in the festival’s 19-year run, but it will likely go down as one of its best. One can only imagine what the HPX crew has planned for its 20th anniversary, but they’ve certainly set the bar high.” – Exclaim! Magazine
“Year after year, HPX remains one of the best, most well-programmed Canadian musical festivals going.” – National Post
