18 Australian and Eight New Zealand Acts Announced for SXSW 2019

Australia’s Skegss and Amyl & The Sniffers and New Zealand’s The Chills will perform at SXSW 2019.

“The AustralAsian countries have both created strong brands as kick-ass performers since 2002 when only five bands total between them played one show each. It’s due to our ‘take no prisoners at the crash barrier’ live performance history and also the promotion given by Sounds Australia over the past decade with the AUSSIE BBQ and the New Zealand Music Commission for their annual shows in Brush Park.” says Phil Tripp of SXSW in a statement.

More acts will be announced soon. “These are the artists whose bandleaders, labels, managers or agents wisely applied early when we opened up submissions in June and therefore got their music listened to and status evaluated for the first announcement. Over 150 other bands who applied later than these early starters are being evaluated at present for selection with applications closing October 25 and announcements of further bands and events each month,” Tripp said.

The first round acts are:
