The Midwest Music Foundation is hitting the SXSW party news early, releasing details on their perennial MidCoast Takeover party! While the day parties will feature yet-to-be-announced acts chosen by the event sponsors, the confirmed lineup for the four-day, two-stage event already features over 50 bands including emerging indie-rockers Kangaroo Knife Fight, experimental orchestral rock outfit BE/NON, the instrument-rich Claire and the Crowded Stage, the acoustic soul of Rae Fitzgerald, and seriously dozens more, it’s nuts. And it’s all at Shangri-la, conveniently walking distance from literally anywhere else you’d be. Read on for details and the currently released artist list, and stay tuned for more announcements as they come!
March 18th – 21st at Shangri-La, 1016 E. 6th Street, Austin, TX 78702
The shows will be split between the outdoor stage and an acoustic indoor stage, with some artists playing both so you have no excuse not to catch at least one of their gigs. The MidCoast Takeover has been packed in the past, with last year’s parties listed among the best by do512, KVUE, and even garnering praise from USA Today, so get in early! More details are yet to be released, so check back here and at the event page for the latest news!
