Thousands of people come to experience SXSW festival that will take place for the 24th time this year. And there is only one reason for it: the love for music. This is the opportunity for musicians, labels and festival organisers to meet each other. The musicians can promote their music and the various organisations can form their opinion what kind of music they play and if it fits in their festival or label. In addition to this there will be performances by artists from all over the world at various places in Austin.
On the biggest showcase festival in Austin, Texas, Crossing Border has organised a series of parties and the performances of six bands from The Hague. The bands that were chosen are: NiCad, John Dear Mowing Club, WOOT, SO What, The Deaf and Rebelle. You can follow “Music City The Hague on SXSW” via Omroep West and 3voor12denhaag.nl. Ruud Wijkniet has been invited by Crossing Border to attend and represent The Hague Jazz.
