The hip-hop legend has announced two headline shows to follow his appearance at the Promiseland festival.

Public Enemy last toured in Australia ten long years ago.

The Presets will be joined by special guests Midnight Juggernauts (playing a DJ set), Haiku Hands, and Joey Lightbulb.

“It disturbs me that anyone would think there is room for this in this community,” Charli xcx said in response to clips of her fans chanting “TAYLOR SWIFT IS DEAD”.

The self-titled effort was completed by SOPHIE’s longtime collaborator Benny Long, and is primed for release in September.

“This is a simple and commonsense way to save lives. That’s why we’re going to trial it in Victoria this summer.”

SXSW Sydney has also locked in additional conference speakers, workshops, screenings, games, and experiences for this year’s program.

Boiler Room will likely remain the premier online documentation of a thriving global music culture that, now more than ever, has a community hungry for more.

The first showcase announcement features a whopping 70 acts, with more standouts including Stand Atlantic, Sly Withers, Lotte Gallagher, FRIDAY* and Y.O.G.A.
