South by Southwest has continued to grow since its debut in 1987 and now features film, television, and an interactive conference. Films like Bridesmaids and TV shows like HBO’s Girls have premiered at the festival. But the main draw is still the music. About 2,500 bands—culled from over 12,000 applicants—will perform from March 12 to 17 in over more than venues around Austin, Texas. In addition to established acts like Snoop Lion, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and a rumored performance by Justin Timberlake, many up-and-coming acts will make their mark at the fest. From Baauer, the DJ-producer behind the viral “Harlem Shake,” to model cum chanteuse Sky Ferreira, here are the most anticipated musical acts at this year’s SXSW.
