Twelve Australian artists will be heading to SXSW in Austin, Texas, in March 2025 – and that’s just on the first artist announcement.

The Aussies heading to next year’s music festival and industry conference event are Boo Seeka, Cap Carter, Delivery, Dune Rats, Hachiku, J. Tajor, Lucy Sugerman, Rowena Wise, Sir Jude, Surely Shirley, The Vanns, and Vv Pete. New Zealand’s own Bakers Eddy, Frankie Venter, and Guardian Singles will also head to SXSW.

Next year’s event will take place from 10 to 15 March 2025 in music venues and community spaces across Austin, Texas.

In addition to the artists announced above (and below), SXSW has also locked in its first list of showcases, which includes ATC Live, Billboard, Deezer, Green Witch Recordings, Music From Ireland, The Line of Best Fit, Rolling Stone, Taiwan Beats, Tokyo Calling, UTOPiAfest, and many more.

James Minor, the VP of the Music Festival element of SXSW, said of next year’s curated experience: “This announcement is an excellent teaser for what you can expect to see at SXSW 2025. This round includes a range of exceptional artists, from up-and-coming talent to established legends and everywhere in between.

“If you’ve been to SXSW before, you’ll know that this list is more than an eclectic playlist; it’s a guide to discovery and your first step toward what you’ll experience in March.”

In 2023, SXSW expanded its reach by launching the event in Sydney.
