The big announcement is finally upon us! The first official run of artists has been announced for the music portion of SXSW 2015, an all-inclusive buffet of music we can’t wait to sink our teeth into once again. And with last year’s massively successful Crave showcase bringing out Lady Gaga, Odd Future, Semi-Precious Weapons and more, we’ve got some massive plans in the works to set the SXSW bar even higher!
