Rezz has two Juno Awards under her belt and has been nominated three times for Female Artist of the Year at the Electronic Dance Music Awards.

The powerhouse DJ and producer duo's session is part of a stacked schedule at the Billboard Summit, presented in partnership with the Toronto International Film Festival and Toronto Metropolitan University.

"I’m excited to welcome this global Billboard event to Canada," said Richard Trapunski, National Editor of Billboard Canada, in a release.

"It’s rare to get this kind of unfiltered access to the level of talent and the ideas they’ll bring to the Billboard Summit this summer. There’s nothing else like it in Toronto."

Tickets to the Billboard Summit go on sale on Wednesday, June 4 at 10 a.m., or get access by purchasing an NXNE VIP or Executive pass.

You can keep the party going on Thursday, June 12, at Billboard Canada The Stage in Sankofa Square.

Headlining is platinum-selling artist Khalid, the voice behind hits like "Young Dumb Broke" and "Eastside."

Khalid's NXNE 2025 concert is free to attend, but you can elevate your experience with platinum tickets that are still available.

A full lineup of NXNE events can be found online.
