Nas, Vince Staples, Lucius, and 198 more

South by Southwest’s weekly lineup announcements concluded this morning, 11 days before the conference’s music portion commences. The addition of 201 acts includes all-time great MC Nas, Brooklyn pop artisans Lucius, and rising rapper Vince Staples, totaling the festival’s offerings around 2,100 acts.

Additionally, soul queen Erykah Badu was announced earlier this week as an official SXSW showcaser, headlining Mohawk on Wednesday, March 16.
