Here are all the Australian & New Zealand acts heading to SXSW 2018
South By Southwest is arguably one of the world’s larges music conferences, and understandably, is often used as the place where many of the underrated bands of the world get their big break, often going on to see huge international acclaim in the years following their appearances.
With the likes of Ruby Fields, The Black Sorrows, and Mallrat having already been announced as some of Australia’s representatives at the famed Texas conferences, SXSW have now fully confirmed the full list of Australian and New Zealand acts heading to America this March.
With Alice Ivy, Didirri, Sampa The Great, Slum Sociable, Gang Of Youths, Hatchie, and Jade Imagine, just to make a few, all heading over to strut their stuff, we’re on track for yet another brilliant year for Aussie music at the famed event.
Check out the full list of Aussies and Kiwis heading to SXSW 2018, below.
