The South by Southwest® Music Festival (SXSW®) has announced the third round of Showcasing Artists invited to perform at the 39th annual event. Taking place March 10-15, 2025, the festival programmers aim to reignite the exhilaration of discovery for fans and industry alike as they discover their new favorite artist across the eclectic backdrop of Austin.
The third announcement includes eclectic artists from across the globe, including several powerhouse SXSW alumni like Sunflower Bean, Holy Fuck, and Jack’s Mannequin. The diverse lineup spans cultures and continents, from chart-topping alt-reggaeton act NSQK from Mexico to energetic J-Pop boy band PSYCHIC FEVER. Everything from Latin favorites like Sofía Reyes, Amantes Del Futuro, La Cendejas, and st. Pedro to acclaimed Taiwanese artists including Andr, TRASH, Amazing Show, and Enno Cheng. Other highlights include rising hip-hop star Samara Cyn, ethereal songstress Quiet Light, award-winning musician-activist Madame Gandhi, rebel psych-rock band Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and the new project from Núria Graham and Aoife Nessa Frances called Red Stamp. No matter your musical taste, there is plenty to discover among the talent in this lineup; acts like multi-sensory experimental artist BLACK FONDU, ambient Thai collaborators NISATIWA X NOTEP, funk-soul seven piece brass band SNACKTIME, and Muri, a magnetic force redefining Filipino music. Japanese artists include neo-soul, city pop ensemble Luv, high energy punk-rock band ENTH, and metal band with heavy sound and light lyrics, GOKUMON (UchikubiGokumonDoukoukai).
“The momentum continues to build with our third reveal,” said James Minor, VP of Music Festival. “Each act lends a unique and dynamic voice to the lineup, with both new and established artists from around the world creating a real sense of anticipation for the March event.”
One of SXSW’s distinct features is international representation, with the third round of acts hailing from regions like Australia Austria, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, England, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Spain, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, and Trinidad and Tobago.
