We have artists from 62 countries from around the world performing and have always supported our international music community.
We have never reported international showcasing artists to immigration authorities.

We have never reported international showcasing artists to immigration authorities.
We understand that given the current political climate surrounding immigration, the language that was published seems strong.
Language governing SXSWs ability to protect a showcase has been in the artist Performance Agreement for many years.
Any hotels booked via SXSW Housing will be canceled.
Artists credentials will be canceled.
SXSW will notify the appropriate U.S. immigration authorities of the above actions.
We hope never to be put in the position to act on this.
If an artist wishes to perform elsewhere, they will require a work visa.
