SXSW 2015 has officially gotten weird as hell. The Keynote Speaker for this year’s multimedia extravaganza in Austin, TX will be none other than Snoop Dogg. He joins AWOLNATION, Portugal The Man, Black Pistol Fire and a slew of others in the Music portion of the annual event.
A multi-platinum artist, actor and the biggest stoner this side of Cheech & Chong, Snoop Dogg’s credentials put him at the forefront of popular culture with award-winning albums and songs, multiple films, lifestyle products, philanthropic efforts and digital ventures, including his YouTube original series “GGN News.” Snoop Dogg has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, having released twelve albums and collaborated with artists across all genres of music.
Snoop’s keynote takes place on Friday, March 20, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in Ballroom A of the the Austin Convention Center.
Snoop Dogg’s keynote conversation is open to all Music and Platinum registrants and registered showcasing artists. The South by Southwest Music and Media Conference (SXSW®) is a six-day event held every March in Austin. The conference offers unmatched access to ideas and global viewpoints on an increasingly borderless industry. It aims to educate and inspire musicians and professionals alike, with sessions attended by 28,000 registrants and showcasing artists.
THIS GUY is the honored speaker at SXSW! Try to get your head around it before the sweet stank hits your nose around the Convention Center next week.
A large multi-industry trade show exhibition, Music Gear Expo and daytime stage performances round out the day while evenings are devoted to the SXSW Music Festival, which showcases over 2,100 acts ranging from the unsigned to the iconic.
You can bet your wristband-loving ass Crave will be all up in Austin for SXSW 2015. After all, we’ve got our work cut out for us after bringing Lady Gaga, Odd Future, Semi Precious Weapons and so many more to our incredible CraveOnline showcase last year.
