It seems like with every year, festival culture seems to grow larger and larger with local festivals popping up left and right. But of course, there will always be the staples, the constantly huge and undeniably influential festivals in the industry: Coachella, Governor’s Ball, Burning Man, and of course, South by Southwest.
After giving us an initial sneak peek back in September, the Austin, Texas festival has just announced another round of additional artists that will be featured at next year’s event, featuring an extraordinary mix of new, up-and-coming artists, with more to be announced later on.
The festival was started by staffers of the alternative art newspaper The Austin Chronicle as a local festival. They expected around 150 attendees to show but over 700 people showed, causing the festival to go national almost immediately. 30 years later, it has grown to become the highest revenue producing event for its home city.
Some notable entries in the second round of artists include Brooklyn indie pop duo The Drums, New Zealand singer-songwriter Ladyhawke and alternative indie rock band Minus the Bear. Check out the rest of the lineup below:
