SXSW adds another 301 artists to 2023 line-up
SXSW has updated the line-up for next year’s festival, with an extra 301 artists being added to the bill.
English Teacher, Sunflower Bean, Adwaith, Dream Wife, Kid Bookie and The Zombies are just a few of the recognisable names from the announcement – you can check out the full list below.
They join the 191 acts that had already been confirmed for the 2023 event, including Kalush Orchestra, Crawlers, Demob Happy, The Lounge Society and The Orielles.
SXSW ’23 will take place in its usual home of Austin, Texas from March 13-18. This year marked the festival’s return proper following the COVID-19 pandemic, after it was cancelled in 2020 and held virtually in 2021.
Registration for delegate badges is still open, with music-only badges costing $695 (£611), and film and TV badges will cost $995 (£874). Interactive event badges are going at $1,095 (£962) while platinum badges – which allow delegates access to events across all categories – will run for $1,395 (£1,226).
