It’s that time of year again (actually, it’s a little early this year): South-by-Southwest! A million-and-one musical acts (and more) head to Austin, from the tiny newbees hoping for their big break to the massive headliners looking for indie-cred (and totally overshadowing all of those tiny newbees). It’s the time of badges and wristbands, free drinks and free schwag, numerable can’t-miss showcases and can’t-miss acts (which all overlap), of trying to stay upright and alive for the whole thing. So head to the Live Music Capital of the World, Tuesday-to-Saturday, March 11th-to-15th.
And QRO has again created our own massive schedule of everything & everything – official & unofficial showcases, free & badges-only, RSVP & private, with set times, sponsors, locations, and much, much more:
