SXSW does not charge our artists to perform at official showcases, operating on a strict invitation-only policy to prevent 'pay-to-play' scams.
Any solicitation requiring payment or similar obligations to be part of a SXSW showcase is illegitimate and should be reported.
Be wary of any suspicious invitations demanding payment to perform—it indicates they are not affiliated with SXSW.
To verify legitimacy, all invitations to play at the SXSW Music Festival will come from the official email musicfest@sxsw.com.
