SXSW Announces More Artists For 2014

The 2013 festival season has come and gone which means it’s time to start looking forward to the next big thing. SXSW Music will descend upon Austin next year from 3/11 – 3/16 and they’ve just announced a second round of artists. As usual, it’s an eclectic and diverse range of bands and there’s a lot to like here. One of the many highlights is the return of Gary Numan, who released his first album since 2006 last month and will be making a stop at the festival. There’s also the Kooks, Talib Kweli, and Kevin Drew, and buzzier bands like Bipolar Sunshine, Great Good Fine Ok, Saintseneca, and Until The Ribbon Breaks. Plus, some artists we haven’t heard from in a while, including EMA, Wye Oak, and We Were Promised Jetpacks, which probably points to new material from them in the near future. The list is overwhelmingly long and stacked and I’m sure I missed some major bands so check it out below and let us know what bands you’re excited to see (or see photos of as you sit in your room a thousand miles away).
