Neon & Highfood are a movement dedicated to throwing quality events in innovative settings.
NEON began as a concept & quickly became a collective in late 1998 when friends Tiga, Justin, Mark & John teamed up to create the perfect club night that could house the groups eclectic & ever growing musical & visual tastes. Music was evolving, but the existing clubs were getting boring & formulaic. The new club night the four were designing would stay true to its mission of quality & originality.
The Idea was to do away with the traditional club look & feel & start from scratch, doing away with club politics & introducing interior & graphic design with a larger emphasis on mood & lighting while using venues that could be completely physically & visually transformed each time to accommodate the new musical sound NEON was introducing.
After celebrating it’s 10th birthday in 2009 NEON joined forces with Alex Auche of HIGHFOOD, another like minded & prominent Montreal event producer & together now produce over 70 shows per year at various venues in and around Montreal.
NEON & HIGHFOOD still consistently draw capacity crowds to all of their events.
