SXSW Announces Dates For 2022
SXSW has announced its 2022 dates for March 11-20 in Austin, Texas, after having its 2021 festival be virtual only.
The festival organizers are staying positive that it will be safe enough to have a live, in-person festival for next year.
“I’m very confident that SXSW will look normal, or near-normal next year,” says Austin Public Health’s Interim Authority, Dr. Mark Escott.
SXSW just finished up its week-long virtual festival which included over 230 online sessions with keynote speakers including Stacy Abrams, Pete Buttigieg, Priya Parker, Charles Yu, Willie Nelson and more.
The music featured at the virtual festival included performances by artists Ximena Sarinana, The Chat, Awich, Black Country, New Road, Indigo Spark and more. These performance took place all over the world, including in a Taoist temple, a cable car in Norway, a Los Angeles freeway overpass, Abbey Road Studios and the 606 Club in London, the historic Leith Theatre in Scotland, suburban and bush backyards across Australia, a café-floriculture in Brazil, The Powerstation in New Zealand, and Austin hometown favorites Hotel Vegas and Empire Control Room & Garage.
