Less than a month remains until SXSW 2024 — which runs Friday, March 8 through Saturday, March 16 — so let's not mince words, we're excited.

This year, there will be 108 local performers at the festival (pending new announcements), compared to 175 locals who performed last year. We picked out all the locals so you don't have to think twice before listening to some ATX tunes.
