Secret Sounds – the team behind Splendour In the Grass, Falls Festival and the freshly established Sydney City Limits – have announced their annual showcase at SXSW. The gig is going down in Austin, Texas on March 14, and Secret Sounds have just announced the lineup for the party which might indicate who they’re looking to bring to Australia in the coming months, either for Splendour or Falls.
Fresh from Australian festival performances and their Hottest 100 takeover, Sydney’s own Gang of Youths will be headlining the whole affair, accompanied by skyrocketing indie songstress Stella Donnelly, US hip-hop talents Buddy and DUCKWRTH, and triple j Unearthed favourite, G Flip.
We’ll have to wait and see who actually makes it out here for either of the mega-festivals, but we’re guessing that at least some of them will be arriving on Australian shores soon. See the full lineup below, and add these to the Splendour rumour mill which already features Kendrick Lamar, Arctic Monkeys and more:
