10 years ago we started a spreadsheet. And we took it too far... SXSW is beautiful chaos. 1000s of events, parties, and shows. The most fun week of our life. But info and RSVPs for these are always scattered across the web. So we started consolidating things in one place. EVERYTHING. We scoured the web to create the most up-to-date list. Endless scrolling for us, and for you. We personally spent more time RSVPing on the 🚽 than we’d like to admit (and then we all end up going to like 10% of those events). Let’s face it: We’ve changed. SXSW has changed. We have WAY less time to spend prepping and you probably have less time too. Life, am I right? But we STILL get excited for this week. And there’s STILL a shit-ton to do! So we’ll focus on quality, not quantity this year. If you want to keep up with the 1000+ events around Austin - like Gorilla Joe playing a free sax show on 6th and Congress - there are spreadsheets that list these. But if you’re burnt out on scrolling: We give you The Short List. Only the best events during SXSW 2025. It’s about half full, growing, and will be updated throughout the fest. If you’re busy but STILL want to have a blast in Austin, this is for you. Love, The Festival Saviors **Please visit sxsw.com for the full list of SXSW events
