Adem Holness, Head of Music for SXSW London, stated: “What I love about London is that you can exit any tube station and enter a unique community. I want our festival to reflect that — each music venue will serve as a gateway to a different international music scene. We are partnering with some of the most innovative figures in underground music to showcase the future of music through their distinct viewpoints, and I am incredibly excited about the artists they have selected.”
