SXSW announced last month their second round of live music acts for 2016. The festival continues to showcase new talent from all over the planet to perform live in Austin, Texas this upcoming March.
Six out of seven of the continents on earth will feature musicians from different areas and genres of music. Antarctica might have a good death metal band, but they are not featured in this second round.
Breakthrough acts in this 2nd round that have crossed our radar include: Blackfoot Gypsies, DJ Logic, The Ghost Wolves, Holy Oysters, The Heirs, Oberhofer, The Main Squeeze, and Tacocat.
