SXSW 2023 is barreling around the corner and there are a lot — and we mean a lot — of local musicians on the roster.

According to our calculations, and pending any last-minute announcements, 175 Austin-area musicians and bands will take the stage throughout the nine-day festival. But don’t just take our word for it — we rounded them all up for you.

City Editor Figi here. 👋 We’ve got some incredible bands coming, but I marked my favorites if you don’t know where to start. The music festival is but one piece of SXSW, so don’t miss our ultimate SXSW guide and our upcoming guide to doing SXSW for free.
