Is it that time of year already? The time when the music world’s attention starts to shift towards the busy streets of Austin, Texas and the city’s South By Southwest Festival.

Apparently so; the first, long-list of acts to have put their names down for the 2015 leg of the event has been confirmed, led by the likes of Carl Barat – who will bring his new band The Jackals to SXSW – Dry The River, Jessie Ware and The Twilight Sad.

As always, this first list will be subject to change before everything kicks off next March and many more named will be added during the coming months.
