SXSW Canceled
SXSW (South By Southwest), the huge music showcase held every March in Austin, was just canceled because of Coronavirus. The cancellation comes as more positive Covid-19 (Novel Coronavirus) cases keep popping up across the country. This move comes as big companies and headline musicians pulled out. I was previously skeptical of big cancellations like this in America, because in this country, money is akin to God and such a decision is a real blow to the Austin economy. It does make you wonder just how many vendors and bands discussed canceling for fear of being around big groups of people.
What is the next big U.S. festival? Coachella? Keep an eye on that event, but it is over a month away, so a long time from now really.
