About SXSW London
SXSW London is a global gathering for music, film, technology, media, gaming, and culture, bringing together creatives, innovators, artists, brands, and industry leaders for a week of discovery and connection in East London.
As the European edition of SXSW, the event expands the festival’s legacy of spotlighting what’s next across entertainment and creative industries. Throughout the week, attendees can experience live music showcases, film screenings, keynote conversations, conference sessions, immersive activations, networking events, and more across venues throughout Shoreditch.
For independent artists and music professionals, SXSW London offers a valuable opportunity to connect with global industry players, discover emerging talent, explore new trends, and take part in conversations shaping the future of music. From artist development and digital strategy to sync, streaming, fan engagement, and new technology, the event creates space for meaningful conversations around where the industry is headed next.
With its mix of live performances, thought leadership, and cross-industry collaboration, SXSW London is quickly becoming an important destination for creatives looking to build relationships, exchange ideas, and tap into new opportunities on a global stage.
How To Prepare 📚
SXSW moves fast, and with so much happening at once, planning ahead makes all the difference. We recommend taking time before you arrive to map out the panels, showcases, and networking moments you want to prioritize so you don’t miss the opportunities that matter most.
When it comes to promo materials, keep it modern and easy to share. QR code listening cards, business cards linking to your Spotify or EPK, stickers, or simple one-sheets are all great tools to help people remember you after a quick conversation. And as always, the follow-up is where the real value comes in. Reaching out after SXSW, staying connected on social, and continuing the conversation can turn a brief introduction into something long-term.
Let’s Connect…
SXSW London continues to establish itself as one of the most exciting global events for music, culture, technology, and creative industries. We’re looking forward to connecting with artists and partners from around the world, discovering new music, and being part of the conversations shaping what comes next for the industry.
If you’re heading to London this June, let’s connect! Sander Stijnen (Director, Business Development), Stella Vaz (Manager, Client Marketing & DSP Relations), Henry Burke (A&R), and Nick Robinson (A&R and Client Development) will all be attending this event.
