- OBEY Convention will return to Halifax for its eighth year, running from May 21st to 24th. The festival, which leans towards noise, jazz, and avant-garde electronics, will offer artist talks, workshops and live shows that span ten different venues across the city. Highlights of the wide-reaching lineup include sets from Omar Souleyman (performing Thursday at the Marquee Ballroom), Container (playing a late set at Menz and Mollyz Bar) and experimental pianist Lubomyr Melnyk, who will close out the weekend with a set at the Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts. The schedule offers at least a dozen other events, details of which can be found at OBEY Convention's official site.
