SXSW London

Austin, Texas’ SXSW festival is renowned across the world for being the place to discover the next big thing. In previous years, superstars like Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan have all given early performances at the Texas event and now, following an expansion into Sydney, the multi-venue fest is coming to London for the first time. The inaugural SXSW London will take over various venues in Shoreditch, including Shoreditch Town Hall and Village Underground, bringing with it the hottest new acts from across the globe for more than 70 music events. The conference arm of the event will also make the journey across the pond, with 420 talks and panels delving into the most pressing issues across business, tech and more. And there’ll also be 250 film screenings, including plenty of international premieres. The line-up is yet to be announced, but will be revealed in the coming months.
