With just a few weeks until SXSW Music Festival is set to kick off, it seems the seminal music extravaganza is saving its best for last. With a tenth announcement of showcasing artists, the Austin, TX festival added icons like Weezer, Wu-Tang Clan, Thievery Corporation and more. Some of the other extremely exciting performers of the entire event are included in this list: Poliça, Grandaddy, The New Pornographers, Future Islands and The Avett Brothers. Also of note in the 137-deep lineup announcement is Joey Bada$$, Bleached, Cosmonauts, Radkey and Real Estate, among many others.
The music festival portion of SXSW will take place March 13-19 in the city of Austin.
Thievery Corporation just released their latest album in February, The Temple of I & I. Many of the artists in this announcement have albums in the works, including a new EP of music from SoCal power pop band Bleached. Real Estate are ready to release another impressive effort, and The New Pornographers drop their seventh album Whiteout Conditions in April.
Perhaps most noteworthy is Grandaddy, who will release their first new album in 11 years with Last Place. Fans of the band’s iconic electronic indie rock sound will be pleased with the results, and their Spring 2017 tour will be a can’t-miss experience.
