The buildup for SXSW's 2022 edition continued Thursday as the Austin festival and conference announced another round of artists joining its music lineup.
In addition to the likes of Young Thug, Shawn Mendes and Kygo, all of whom were announced last week as part of Billboard and Samsung's joint series of SXSW shows, the fest has also added nearly 100 more in its weekly roundup of artists, which will continue until the music festival begins on March 14. Newly added artists include Perfume Genius, Paris Jackson, MUNA, Kimbra, White Denim and more.
A number of other major showcases are expected to be announced next week.
Last week, the fest also confirmed Lizzo and Beck will be among this year's keynote and featured speakers when SXSW returns to its live, in-person format for the first time since 2019.
As we previously mentioned, the SXSW Music Festival runs March 14-20. In 2020, the pandemic forced SXSW to scrap its in-person festivities and host a virtual event in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
