The Jimmy Kimmel Show will be broadcast from SXSW in Austin, Texas all this week.
Kimmel has announced a big line-up for the week including an appearance by Kanye West on Friday, thereby confirming that West will return to Austin for SXSW.
SXSW official music announcements have been light-on for 2015 with this year’s line-up paling into insignificance compared to previous years. Snoop Dogg, who has already appeared at SXSW multiple times in the past 10 years, has been announced as keynote speaker. The biggest names at the conference and festival this year will be appearing for brands instead of official SXSW showcases. Mary J. Blige will perform in Austin this week for Samsung, not SXSW.
At this stage, Kanye West, Brad Paisley and Willie Nelson will all be performing for Kimmel, not SXSW.
