The performance will certainly be one of SXSW’s biggest highlights so far, and will take place on Friday, March 20. SXSW concertgoers with tickets to Jimmy Kimmel will get to see Kanye live and in-person.
So if you got tickets to @jimmykimmel on Friday the 20th… congrats you get to see Kanye! #SXSW
