Following another creative few days of teasing band names, Austin City Limits Music Festival early Tuesday revealed its full lineup, adding to previously announced acts fun., The Cure, Haim, Local Natives The Joy Formidable, Grouplove, Shovels & Rope, Kaskade and True Believers. This year's two-weekend fest runs Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13 in Austin's Zilker Park.
Although Austin City Limits Music Festival will not reveal its full lineup until May 7, Muse revealed during an interview with Montreal's CHOM 97.7 that they are set to be one of the headliners at this year's event, which will encompass two weekends for the first time—Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13.
SXSW ever year presents a lot of excitement, a lot of hype and a lot of craziness. And it's also a big mess of confusion, if you're not careful. As the festival becomes more and more overcrowded, the party-hopping on 6th Street can be kind of stressful. Luckily, there are individuals and brands that have learned from experience and stepped up to help festival-goers.
We understand the overwhelmingness of the world's biggest music festival, and we've done our best to provide some suggestions that may make your trek across downtown Austin as fun and stress-free as possible.
It's SXSW time again! While the Interactive Festival is already underway, the Music portion is just around the corner. Of course, with the return of South By, comes the return of Myspace's Secret Shows and a lot of other under-the-radar performances.
So maybe this is just foreshadowing what's to come? As we previously reported, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z have allegedly been working on a multi-city tour together. The first positive sign has on Monday been confirmed as the duo will headline Wireless Festival 2013 at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, being held July 12-13. The lineup also includes Frank Ocean, Miguel, Kendrick Lamar, and much more.
The best SXSW lineup has somehow managed to get even better. As of Saturday, more acts have been added to the event, including: Earl Sweatshirt, Chief Keef, Josh Ritter, Flying Lotus’ hip-hop side-project Captain Murphy, Billy Bragg, Hanni El Khatib, Dillon Francis, Amanda Palmer, Phosphorescent, Weekend, Mykki Blanco, Future Unlimited, Tijuana Panthers and California X.
As we previously reported, Yeah Yeah Yeahs' upcoming album, Mosquito, will arrive on April 16. But in anticipation of the new record, the band on Wednesday released a teaser of a new song along with news that they will be performing a show at SXSW, as part of NPR’s music showcase. They will be performing at Stubbs on March 13, along with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and the event will be streaming via NPR.
