The South By Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival has announced its first round of Showcasing Artists set to perform at its 2023 installment. 2023 will hold the 37th installment of the annual event, taking place at the stages of Austin, Texas from March 13 to March 18, 2023.

The unique and extensive lineup for the upcoming six day festival features a wide variety of artists from all over the world. As the festival has done each year, the organizers have attempted to attain a lineup of some of the most exciting new acts as well as established acts from a plethora of different countries. A press release from the festival has advertised a lineup featuring artists from Armenia, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Scotland, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Wales.

Featured artists at the upcoming event include the American rapper Armani White, K-Pop outfit Balming Tiger, American post-punk band Algiers, French duo Ladaniva, English electronica producer Max Cooper, Spanish singer-songwriter Núria Graham, Japanese punk-rockers Otoboke Beaver, Mexican fusion act Son Rompe Pera, British R&B musician Yazmin Lacey, Japanese beatboxer and musician Yogetsu Akasaka and a long, long list of others.

SXSW 2022, taking place in March, was the first installment of the annual festival held in person since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. SXSW 2020 and 2021 were both held virtually, a fact which led to the festival being sued due to their no-refund policy.
