Iconic Creative Mega-Festival South By Southwest Is Headed Down Under For The First Time

Iconic creative conference and mega-festival South By Southwest (SXSW) is making the leap out of its home in the U.S. and headed down under for the first time in its 36-year history. It’s like south by super southwest at this point. Can’t get much further southwest than the other side of the globe.

Perhaps this will finally give the NSW capital a desperately-needed injection of energy and nightlife after a long, forced slumber. Chief Brand Officer of SXSW  said Sydney is the “perfect place” to launch a new expansion of the iconic festival. “The purpose of SXSW is to help creative people achieve their goals,” she said. “When we’re able to connect people and provide content that celebrates emerging topics and industries, we are fulfilling this purpose. “Sydney, and its future-focused culture, is the perfect place to extend that reach and share the inspiration and unexpected discoveries that make our event unique.” Hurry up and drop that elaborate lineup, SXSW Sydney, so I can start planning my life for October next year.
