For the first time in its history, SXSW has been canceled
AMC’s panel for “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” had also been canceled, following the withdrawal of media hosts IGN and Mashable.
One key element in the SXSW cancellation was the city of Austin going on record as officially forcing SXSW to shut it down, just as the city of Miami officially forced a cancellation upon the Ultra Music Festival this week. Indeed, Austin even made a “disaster” declaration, even though there have been no confirmed cases in the city yet.
But Siegel understood the hesitation to cancel. It’s not just the promoter taking a hit — at a music festival, it’s the artists, who will be out their guarantees, since very few of them would have paid extra for communicable disease coverage before the current outbreak. And in the case of a SXSW or Coachella, it’s a significant hit to the entire local economy.
