It’s almost time for our free musical extravaganza, The Paste Magazine East Austin Block Party Presented by Ilegal Mezcal. We’ll be at taking over High Noon and Coral Snake March 13-15 with 63 of our favorite acts gathered in town for SXSW. We’ll have two outdoor stages—the Sun Stage and the Agave Stage, the indoor stage at High Noon—and two indoor stages, one inside High Noon and the Paste Sessions stage inside Coral Snake, where we’ll be taping 15 three-song sessions in front of a live audience.
The lineup includes: new projects from Broods’ Georgia Nott (Georgia Gets By) and Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos (This Is Lorelei); former and upcoming Best of What’s Next artists Shalom, Searows and Mei Semones; Boston slowcore faves Horse Jumper of Love; legendary Athens musician Vanessa Briscoe Hay’s Pylon Reenactment Society; Swedish sensation Waterbaby; North Mississippi Allstars frontman Luther Dickinson; Billboard Music Awards nominees X Ambassadors; former Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys; New York post-rock trio City of the Sun; David Shaw of The Revivalists; and so many of other amazing established and emergent acts from 15 different nations.
We’re partnering once again with Ilegal Mezcal, who’ll be giving away free screen-printed East Austin Block Party T-shirts, free live chain stitching and free flash tattoos by Scott Barbier. The bars will be serving Ilegal Mezcal-inspired cocktails, and Ilegal Mezcal GBA Gilbert Marquez will be among the event’s hosts.
