The South By Southwest Lineup: Start Practicing Your Line-Standing Poses Now
South By Southwest has released the full list of bands playing next month’s margarita-drenched festival, and the numbers add up to about 1,600 bands spread across 79 stages. Among the acts playing the week’s “official” showcases: R.E.M., Robyn, Vampire Weekend, Be Your Own Pet, the apparently-still-around Vines, and Naked Raygun. I tend to agree with the Austin Music Source that Dolly Parton is tops among the must-see acts… which, of course, means that the lines to get into every one of her appearances will be massive and I should just head on down to Austin now and camp out. Surely it’s warmer there than it is in NYC, right? [Austin360.com]
