SXSW 2019 Recap

South-by-Southwest returned to Austin, a week earlier this year, but still extended to Monday-Saturday, March 11th-16th. Even without University of Texas teens volunteering or partying during their spring break, there was a strong turnout. Yes, SXSW isn’t the massive sponsored juggernaut it was even just five years ago, but instead there was a diversity of acts playing downtown, often multiple gigs over the week, and you could actually see a lot of what you intended to (and still get free drinks)

 

Monday Interactive met Music on SXSW Monday.

Tuesday FLOOD Magazine and BMI threw two great events on Tuesday of SXSW ’19.

Friday Need for rest brought about a lighter SXSW Friday.
