SXSW, a.k.a. South by Southwest, has revealed the first wave of talent performing at its 2024 festival, which will run from March 11-16. The event takes place in Austin, Texas, and is a meeting place for artists and music industry personnel alike. As grounds for music discovery, acts from all over the world come for the showcase.
Next year, the likes of Spain's Hinds, Ukraine rapper alyona alyona, Ghanian singer Bisa Kdei and Brazil's Dendê & Band will be gracing the lineup. Brooklyn's Benét, New York City's cumgirl8, and Boston-based Horse Jumper of Love will be making appearances. See the full list below.
Earlier this year, the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers demanded better pay from SXSW. Almost 2,300 artists signed the open letter at the time of writing.
