South by Southwest® (SXSW®) has announced more than 300 new Showcasing Artists have been invited to perform at the 40th SXSW Music Festival (March 12–18). The festival will showcase rising talents and renowned artists performing across Austin’s iconic clubs and venues for seven nights.
Primed for discovery are some of the buzziest new artists from more than 50 countries around the world, including: Sassy 009, the immersive Oslo-based artist who will be repping the new Scandinavian ambient-pop scene; genre-blending American songwriter Deloyd Elze; London’s internet-famous producer and influencer DJ AG; folk icon Hannah Cohen, whose dreamy music is a love letter to the interconnectedness of all things; Javiera Electra, the experimental Chilean artist who everyone is talking about right now; MARCO PLUS, the rising Atlanta rapper with razor-sharp lyrics and an all-new take on hip-hop; Oscar Ortiz, one of the next big things in Latin music’s cumbia norteña scene; and British one to watch TTSSFU, who hails from Manchester UK and will be bringing her unmatched rock n roll spirit to Austin.
