Nov 15, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Nile Rodgers

SXSW (aka South By Southwest), the annual conference/festival in Austin, Texas, has announced the third round of artists to be performing during the music portion (there’s also film and interactive portions) in 2017. As with the first list released in September and the second list released in October, this one is short on big names, but a huge part of SXSW is discovering new artists. Notable additions include Temples, Avi Buffalo, Beach Slang, Weaves, Cold Specks, No Joy, and Ultimate Painting. The full list is below, followed again by the first two lists, and SXSW goes down March 10 - 19, 2017.

SXSW has also announced that Nile Rodgers will be a keynote speaker. The iconic CHIC co-founder has also produced Madonna and David Bowie, among others, and more recently collaborated with Daft Punk and Disclosure. He will be speaking on Wednesday, March 15.
