SXSW is quickly approaching and the festival has announced its final official wave of showcasing artists. Much like last week, this round of musicians is packed with huge names. Among the most well-known and exciting performers to take the stage in Austin later this month are Ryan Adams, Sleigh Bells, Neko Case, Karen Elson, Grandmaster Flash, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Kevin Morby, !!!, Pharmakon, Third Eye Blind, Tinashe, Tokyo Police Club and Youth Code.
Also noteworthy in the announcement is the inclusion of Ash Koosha, Khaled M and Faarow who will perform at the ContraBanned: #MusicUnites Showcase. This showcase is specially curated to include artists that will affected by the Trump Administrations initial travel ban (which was deemed unconstitutional) and their forthcoming effort at a legal one.
This week has been a bit of a rough one for the seminal music gathering. On Thursday, Brooklyn indie pop artist Felix Falworth, aka Told Slant, posted about language in his contract that he disagreed with and declared he would pull out of the festival. The festival responded by pointing out the language had always been there, never been used and was simply way to protect their brand. A group of artists that included groups like Downtown Boys, Priests and Sheer Mag sent an open letter to the festival demanding they remove the language.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Ryan Adams will be headlining the BMI and SAG-AFTRA Showcase, so today’s announcement is not a huge revelation for fans paying attention to his live schedule.
