The L Magazine‘s multi-venue Northside Festival returned to Williamsburg & Greenpoint for a third year, showcasing up-and-coming Brooklyn (and more) artists on stages across the north end of the hippest of boroughs. There was too much going on to catch everything, but QRO caught a ton in 2011:
| Day 4 | Some good shows were missed on the last day of Northside. Recap > |
| Day 3 | With the weekend, comes the afternoon shows at Northside Festival. A joyous time to sleep late and suck back beers early, all while listening to fabulous and mostly free music. Recap > |
| Day 2 | Day Two saw one of the strongest ‘upper-middle class’ bills of Northside, put together by Kanine Records. Recap > |
| Day 1 | HoZac Records’ showcase at Shea Stadium kicked off Northside 2011 for QRO. Recap > |
