Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing & PRS for Music Foundation head to SXSW 2016

Tonight, Jo Whiley and Steve Lamacq joined to announce the line-up for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing & PRS for Music Foundation showcase at South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival 2016.
In it's 30th year this year, the legendary music festival that takes place in Austin, Texas will see no fewer than 2,220 acts, from the unsigned to the iconic, play across over 100 venues in just 6 days. With so many hotly tipped bands competing for slots during the festival it can be hard to make an impact; but with our track record of line-ups from Florence + the Machine back in 2008, to Royal Blood in 2014, to last year’s line-up with the likes of SOAK and Jack Garratt, we’re quietly confident about this year’s exciting British exports…
