SXSW RECAP: Billboard Returned to SXSW with Three Nights of Concerts

The three-day Billboard Presents THE STAGE at SXSW event featured several highlights that made it an unforgettable experience for attendees. DJ Logan Garrett opened the show with an exciting medley of songs across hip-hop, pop, and more. He got the crowd pumped up with his hit “Got It All,” which he released last year just after SXSW 2022. He ended his set with a preview of a new song he’ll be releasing next month, leaving the audience wanting more.

Las Vegas-based DJ SOXXI took the stage and immediately got the crowd dancing with her remixes of “Hollaback Girl,” “I Kissed A Girl,” “Anaconda,” and other iconic songs. Fresh off her performance at Thursday’s Doritos After Dark afterparty, she closed her set with “No Scrubs,” leaving the audience on a high note.

The event’s grand finale was Kx5, the collaboration between electronic music titans Kaskade and deadmau5. They came together for the first-ever performance of their debut album as a duo, Kx5. The pair opened the set with their single “Alive,” which pumped up the audience for one of their first performances as a duo. Throughout their set, they kept the crowd entertained with an electric performance and a spectacular light show, creating a perfect ending to the three-day event.

Overall, Billboard Presents THE STAGE at SXSW was an incredible experience that showcased some of the best musicians and industry leaders. From DJ Logan Garrett’s exciting medley to Kx5’s grand finale, the event was filled with highlights that left attendees wanting more. We can’t wait to see what Billboard has in store for next year’s event.
