As part of the Planet Quebec project, D-TOX Rockfest will host a showcase and will proudly represent Western Quebec at South by Southwest, North America’s biggest music conference in Austin, Texas on March 17th at Spill Bar.

After winning several touristic and cultural awards in Quebec, D-TOX Rockfest received its first Canadian recognition after being nominated at the 2012 Sponsorship Marketing Awards for its partnership with D-TOX. Winners will be announced in April, in Toronto. The festival is also nominated for the Outaouais Tourism Awards in the Festivals & Touristic Events category.

Put together by Outaouais Rock, the festival has been growing considerably in the last couple of years and is now Quebec’s largest rock event. Known for its impressively diverse lineups, low ticket price, festive atmosphere and beautiful scenery right by the Outaouais River, Rockfest is quickly becoming a summer tradition. Located only 60 minutes from Montreal and 45 minutes from Ottawa, Rockfest is easily accessible for everyone. The festival recently won the Ovation Prize at Quebec’s prestigious Tourism Awards in the Festivals and Tourist Events category, as well as the Arts & Culture and Tourism prizes at the Chamber Of Commerce Awards.

The full announcement press conference will be held in March. General ticket sale will also start in March. However, various pre-sales and other announcements will be done in the meantime. 2012 edition: June 15th – 16th at the marina & June 11th -17th at various indoor venues.
