Yesterday, SXSW shared new details for their 2027 Austin Festival that will be from March 15th-21st and announces their new Podcast Festival. FOX 7 Austin reports that podcasts will join “Innovation, Film & TV, Music and Comedy. It will bring talent, platforms, brands, marketers and the broader podcast industry together in one dedicated home” (FOX 7 Austin). New locations for the festival include, “the Music Clubhouse will be located at The Thompson hotel with Music Conference programming there and also at The Westin. Officials say music home base will now be right off Sixth Street and only blocks away from the Red River Cultural District. Film & TV Festival will host its major premieres, screenings and red carpets at ACL Live at The Moody Theater as the Paramount Theatre undergoes its restoration. Film & TV Conference will relocated to The Driskill and Stephen F. Austin hotels” (FOX 7 Austin).
Greg Rosenbaum the SVP of Programming at SXSW said in news release that, “2026 proved that we can evolve the event while preserving the discovery, connection and creativity that make it special. We heard amazing feedback from attendees, with 2027 PanelPicker submissions and Music and Film & TV festival applications up by as much as 50 percent so far” … “For 2027, we’re building on what worked by creating more intentional hubs across downtown Austin, giving growing communities like podcasting a bigger platform, and making it easier for attendees to find the ideas, people and opportunities that matter to them. There is much more to come as we continue to build toward SXSW 2027” (FOX 7 Austin).
