The Monster Energy Outbreak House residency returns to SXSW 2017 for its third consecutive year. The four-day event will showcase 30 emerging acts and a new partnership with Trap Nation, the world’s largest music channel on YouTube with over 12M subscribers.

The Monster Energy #OutbreakHouse will feature Young M.A, Ugly God, Illenium, Whethan, San Holo, Unlike Pluto, Ekali, Sweater Beats, Night Lovell, 24Hrs and many more.

The Monster Energy Outbreak House @ SXSW 2017 will commence on Wednesday, March 15th and run through Saturday, March 18th. It’s all going down at the Old Antone’s venue on 213 W 5th Street, Austin, TX 78701. Doors open at 7pm each night, with each show running until 2am.

“We’re bringing an even stronger lineup, bigger production and a bit of a refresh to the Monster Energy Outbreak House this year — and we promise substantial surprise guest performances just like in previous years,” producer/GM Steven Ljubicic said. “We added extra focus to bringing credibility to the subgenres of EDM and emerging hip hop. Our goal is to champion these artists and feature them on one of our touring or festival properties and ultimately place them on the biggest national headlining tour of their career.”

Since 2011, The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour has given fans early access to Discover What’s Next by aligning our sponsor brands with mega stars on the verge of breaking. They included The Chainsmokers, Kendrick Lamar, Iggy Azalea, Logic, Fetty Wap and Post Malone on their largest national headlining tours at the time. The company produces six national tours a year across six different genres, alongside an annual week-long residency for Super Sponsor Monster Energy at the annual SXSW Monster Energy Outbreak House.

In 2016, a new property was formed called the Up & Up Festival. It has rival college students compete online to bring a national artist to perform at their school.

Sounds From Peru Make Their Mark at SXSW

Written by Yvonne Herrera

Sounds from Peru will be presenting a showcase for the first time at this year’s event.

The music of Peru can be characterized as the heartbeat of the country. Peru is home to music genres like festejo, andean music, and kantu. Each of Peru’s regions has its own distinguishing music that reflects its lifestyle, spirit, and surroundings.

POOOW! will kick off the show with their funky take on modern electro. The lineup also features folk band We The Lion and rock group MOBIVSTRIP. Lima-based Mundaka, a rock quartet, will have the crowd headbanging and moshing with their upbeat songs. Los Outsaiders return to the festival with their garage rock music, incorporating elements of Peru with hard rock. Singer Songwriter Gala Brie rounds off the showcase adding a different flavor and blending latin pop with electronic.

Check out the first Sounds From Peru showcase on Wednesday, March 15 at Trinity Hall.

Register to the event for primary access to premier nighttime music showcases, and industry-focused sessions. This year, the Music badge also gives you access to most Film Festival screenings and Interactive Conference sessions.
