Last month, we saw artists, musicians, and filmmakers alike flood to Austin, Texas for this year’s SXSW Festival. The annual program sees a conglomerate of film, interactive media, and music performances over the course of five days. This year hosted newcomers like Billie Eilish, Noah Cyrus, and Tinashe, who are all on the verge of dominating today's pop charts. Comedian Bo Burnham made his directorial debut, and Australian singer Cloves came stateside for six performances over three days. The festival also saw familiar faces, with Bill Hader promoting his new HBO title Barry, and Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish teaming up to promote a new Jordan Peele-directed series. Check out some of our festival favorites below.
