About Music Wristbands

 

How Music Wristband Access Works

A SXSW Music Festival Wristband ensures you will not pay a cover charge to see official SXSW Music Festival and Comedy Showcases at over 75 stages from March 11-16, 2024. Music Wristbands do not have guaranteed admission to every SXSW event. Admission is subject to legal venue capacity and age restrictions in compliance with state and local laws. Wristband holders should download the SXSW GO app to view official schedule and venues.

SXSW Music and Platinum Badges have priority entry over wristbands. Music Wristbands have secondary access to Music Festival Showcases with Interactive and Film & TV Badges and secondary access to all badge types at Comedy Festival programming. Review Wristband Rules below for further details. Music Wristbands do not have access to SXSW Conference programming, SXSW Film & TV Festival Programming, the International Day Stage, the Radio Day Stage or guaranteed access to activations. More information about access can be found on the Attendee Services Page.

Wristband holders can catch a ride on the SXSW Festival Shuttle – a free circulating shuttle running between the Austin Convention Center, Community Concerts at Lady Bird Lake, and SXSW Film & TV Festival Theaters. Learn more on the Getting Around page.
