Gang Of Youths, Stonefield, Dean Lewis and Ruby Fields will lead the Aussie assault on the South By Southwest music event in 2018.
These artists and more have been confirmed as the first 19 Australian acts invited to perform in Austin, Texas next year, as part of the initial 200 artists and bands announced to perform at the festival from around the globe.
The first string of acts also includes Castlecomer, Hatchie, Benji Lewis, Jess Riberio and Voyager, with SXSW 2018 set to take place from the 12th to the 18th of March 2018.
2017 saw 40 Australian artists and bands make the trip to perform at the festival, so we’re almost certain to see a bunch of homegrown acts heading to one of the biggest music conferences in the world.
