South by Southwest (SXSW) is heading down under in 2023 in a boon for NSW that also marks the first time the futurist festival has been held outside the United States in its 35-year history.

The spin-off festival will host more than 1000 screenings, events and performances across Sydney, Destination NSW confirmed, with “the largest group of inspiring international thinkers, creators, innovators and performers ever seen in Sydney at one time”, SXSW Sydney managing director Colin Daniels says.

“We are thrilled to bring this legendary festival of gaming, music, screen, tech and innovation to Sydney in 2023,” SXSW Sydney event producer Geoff Jones continued.
