==Live events==
In addition to the various annual shows, the station held many acoustic "Live-X" events when bands come to town. The acoustic renditions have even been used by many of the bands, including [[Soundgarden]]'s re-release of [[King Animal]], "King Animal Plus," when the band performed their song "Halfway There."<ref>[[King Animal#Track listing]]</ref>

89X celebrated its first birthday in May 1992 by holding two X-Fest shows. Peter Murphy, the Nymphs, Senseless Things were a few of the bands that played X-Fest. Then in 1993, 89X held a birthday show at Chene Park featuring the Tragically Hip. The next year, 1994, 89X started throwing annual "Birthday Bash" shows. The Birthday Bash in 1994 was held at the Phoenix Plaza Amphitheater during the World Cup competitions in Pontiac. The Afghan Whigs, Beck, and the Odds were some of the bands that played.
