Preview: SXSW 25 Music Festival 3/10-3/15 in Austin, Texas
Pop Music, Part 1
~Dagmar
Photographer Kirk Stauffer will attend SXSW again this year! We’re so appreciative of them letting us cover the annual event, which finds bands from all over the world descending on Austin, Texas. For the 2025 acts I’ve gathered for some particular love (but as always, whatever you check out, you’ll have fun), I organized them by SXSW’s genre specifications. The pop music genre will be in two parts.
