Benson Boone, Megan Moroney to headline Rolling Stone's SXSW music showcase

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Rolling Stone will be back at South By Southwest this year, presenting its third annual Future of Music showcase.

Featured on the lineup are Benson Boone, Megan Moroney, Ivan Cornejo, Rema, and more.

Rolling Stone announced the lineup for this year's concert series on Thursday. The series will take place at ACL Live at the Moody Theater March 11-14. The showcase is presented by JBL, the "Official Audio Brand of SXSW 2025."

The famed magazine first came to SXSW in 2023 and quickly became one of the more sought-after showcases of the music festival portion of South By. The four-night concert series aims to "celebrate the trailblazing artists shaping the music of tomorrow," according to Rolling Stone.

The Future of Music showcase coincides with Rolling Stone's "Future of Music" print issue, which will be on newsstands in April. The showcase includes talent featured in the third annual Future 25 list.
