The South by Southwest® Music Festival (SXSW®) has announced another 80 artists to the three rounds of showcasing artists already confirmed. Set to take place 10 to 15 March in Austin, Texas, the Festival founded in 1987, has grown exponentially over the intervening 35+ years. Highlights in this latest announcement include the electronic dexterity of Berlin’s Catnapp, the revelation of Brazilian jazz Jonathan Ferr, the fierce hip-hop rap of Queens, New York’s Fly Deff, the double saxophone and drummer trio of Denmarks’ Smag På Dig Selv, the pop punk of Orlando, Florida’s Suck Brick Kid, the hard techno of Dallas’s TRIPTYKH and the off kilter post-punk of England’s University,
Further good news is that SXSW are not done yet, with more announcements scheduled before the festival officially begins next month. A full list of new additions is below. For a complete list of all the Showcasing Artists please check the SXSW website.
“The SXSW Music Festival lineup provides a unique opportunity to discover artists from around the world,” said James Minor, VP of Music Festival. “The magic comes from a diverse and carefully-curated program that’s designed to help you find your next favourite act.”
