SXSW 2014 Lineup Announced

The South by Southwest Festival has outdone itself. The first wave of artist announcements has hit, and not only is it absolutely stacked, it’s also come earlier than ever before.

The SXSW Festival has long been a gathering point for musicians, filmmakers, and innovators. It’s come a long ways from its birth in 1987. A cultural mainstay of Austin, Texas, the SXSW Festival grows every year, and continues to attract an incredibly diverse, international following. Well over a hundred bands have been announced, hailing from all over the world. Some of this year’s showcase artists have also been announced.

Among them are Californian rising stars Avi Buffalo, Swedish punk outfit INVSN, and Greek dance duo Yip Deceiver. A couple of older names also stand out from the crowd. Los Lonely Boys will be making the trip down South, and 90’s powerhouse Urge Overkill is also slated for an appearance. We’ll keep you posted as more names are released, for now, check through what we already know:
