La Sécurité, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Honeyglaze and Monobloc among first names for SXSW 2025

This year's festival welcomes groundbreaking artists spanning genres and continents, from Cuernavaca’s regional Mexican singer Justin Morales to Dublin punk band Gurriers. Rising artists such as Middle Eastern-influenced Indonesian psychedelic funk band Ali, Montreal’s angular art-punk ensemble La Sécurité, Virginia-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Yasmin Williams, and hard hitting Aussie rock band Delivery will join established acts including Japanese environmental music legend Shiho Yabuki and new wave-pop sensation and SX alum Twin Shadow, who will be launching his sixth album Georgie at SXSW. SXSW 2025 will also host the debut live performance of Immersion (Colin Newman of Wire and Malka Spigel of Minimal Compact) and SUSS, as part of their Nanocluster collaboration series.
