Spring’s Texan delight SXSW is well underway. While many of us can’t afford to take our wellies all the way to Texas, which is why we’ve created a special playlist of the bands and artists we think would have been worth seeing.

So even if you can’t afford to take your wellies all the way to Texas, have a listen to see what the festival itself has on offer anyway.

Here’s our complete round-up of SXSW this year in 14 songs. SXSW.

From 9-18 March, Austin opens its doors to thousands of revellers looking to enjoy themselves at one of America’s biggest festivals. As well as a variety of music there are also film screenings, interactive conventions and, if you’re feeling intellectual, some informative lectures from influential industry giants.

Many of the artists we have featured are fresh, exciting new talents within the music industry. There’s a delicate acoustic melody from Ben Howard, some Hip Hop and a party anthem from XXXY. Enjoy.
