Why you are excited about SXSW London 2025:

I’m excited for SXSW to come to London because the UK is full to the brim of talent — underground, impressively incredible and not yet seen or heard talent! SXSW being in London will no doubt inspire a whole new generation of creative people to come to the surface. This will all add to the UK’s great tapestry of musicians and creatives, who provoke thought and go against the grain. It’s important and necessary to have spaces for people to do this.
