The Ultimate SXSW Guide for the Broke, Badge-less & Underage
It's mid-March! Spring Break time, right? For the music world, it means we're all going on a group trip to Austin for South By Southwest, the week-plus-long convention dedicated to discovery. If you're also going, for fun or for work, you should probably check out our complete guide to the fest. It'll instruct you on what to wear, how to get around, where to stay...all the necessary evils.
But what if you just so happen to not be 21 yet? What if you didn't throw down the couple hundred dollars it takes to acquire a badge? What if you're totally broke? Well, my friends, we've got you covered. Click through to uncover all the great events you can still totally attend...even if you're underage, have a lackluster bank account and are going sans-credentials. SXSW is good like that: there's always something you can do!
Make sure you check out our list of the 30 acts you gotta see at this year's fest, too. The lineup is pretty amazing this year.
