KCRW is knocking it out of the park for SXSW this year, kicking off Music weekend with two brilliant official showcases on Wednesday, March 18th! The day and night lineups include the summery electro duo ODESZA, UK breakout singer-songwriter James Bay, who has gone from busking in London to the top of everyone’s must-see list, Taylor Swift-approved LA artist BØRNS who’s firing up the charts as we speak, Germany’s infectiously folksy Milky Chance, and so many more. Read on for the full lineups and set times – you’ll definitely want to see these!

2-5PM Wednesday, March 18th @ the Austin Convention Center Radio Day Stage, 4th Floor Ballroom D
8PM-2AM Wednesday, March 18th @ Parish, 214 East 6th Street, Austin, TX 78701


There’s no RSVP for these – as they’re official showcases they’re badges and wristbands only. Given how hot these lineups are you’ll want to show up early! The day showcase is at the Radio Day Stage in the Austin Convention Center, which will be in Ballroom D on the 4th floor. The night show is in Austin favorite Parish on 6th Street.
