Over 500 new acts have been confirmed for the 2016 South By Southwest Festival, which will take place across downtown Austin, Texas in March.
With the likes of Hooton Tennis Club, Mercury Rev and White Lung already confirmed, Bloc Party, The Big Pink and The Dandy Warhols are now signed up too along with Waxahatchee, White Denim, Telegram, Protomartyr, Lapsley, Holy Esque, Fat White Family, The Family Rain and plenty, plenty more.
The Dandy Warhols returned just last week with a new track entitled ‘You Are Killing Me‘ which was released to signal their move to Dine Alone Records, whose boss Joel Carriere said:
“My first introduction to The Dandy Warhols goes back to when I was 21, and working at a record store. Good Will Hunting blew up and we were selling a ton of copies of the soundtrack. Not having a full appreciation for Elliott Smith yet, I didn’t bother putting the soundtrack on when at work.”
