South by Southwest (SXSW) has announced a huge slate of international artists set to perform at its 2025 edition. Yasmin Williams, Twin Shadow, La Sécurité, Shiho Yabuki, Justin Morales, Ali, Delivery, and Gurriers are among the names on the bill, along with the debut show from Immersion, a new, post-Githead duo comprising Wire’s Colin Newman and Malka Spigel of Minimal Compact. Check out the full list over at BrooklynVegan. SXSW Music Festival takes place from March 10 to 15 in Austin, Texas.

Last year’s SXSW became mired in controversy when multiple artists dropped out due to the festival’s links to the U.S. Army and defense contractor RTX Corporation, particularly in light of their complicity in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. Squirrel Flower, Mamalarky, Shalom, and Irish rap trio Kneecap were among the artists to spearhead the successful boycott, prompting the festival to cut ties with the U.S. Army and weapons makers.
