Another week, another lineup announcement by SXSW 2022. This time the highlights include Suzanne Vega, Sudan Archives and Mojo Nixon. But with more than 50 artists in this round, there is something for everyone. SXSW is known for providing a spotlight for nation and international up and coming artists. This round, there are especially many artists from the lone star state it seems, which isn’t much of a surprise since the festival always supports local bands from Austin like, Billy King & The Bad Bad Bad, Croy and the Boys, DJ Confucius Jones, djbabyroo, fuvk, GO DJ JB, Fragile Rock, Everett Wren, Hong Kong Wings, Weird Wolves, Think No Think, Jeska and The Vanity Project (featuring Guy Forsyth), Jank Sinatra and more.
Some of the exciting international acts also include, Calva Louise from England, D.Harmon from Luxembourg, CIFIKA / HYDROVOX 2.0 Installation Performance and SURL from South Korea, MY!GAY!HUSBAND! and Luna Li from Canada, as well as, Rosa Pistola from Mexico.
