Are you going to SXSW? Have you been thinking about it, but haven’t really found something that can make you commit? Well, ladies, gentlemen, and non-binaries, we have exactly what you needed to convince you: the inaugural event of the 2016 season of The JanSport Bonfire Sessions! We’ve been doing this for eight years, and honestly it’s one of our favorites, especially the SXSW one, where we’re kicking off Bonfire Sessions season. See an eclectic lineup of acts like Kehlani, Mick Jenkins, Beach Slang, Alex G, and Day Wave, and DJ sets by Noodles and Kristin Kontrol. It doesn’t get more Noisey than this lineup, baby.
We’ll be at Cheer Up Charlies (900 Red River St. Austin, TX 78701), on March 16 to bring together music fans, bands, and a bonfire. Bonus: we’ll have complimentary frosty beverages and free JanSport swag, as if you needed more of a reason to go.
