HyunA and Jay Park will be performing at the 2014 SXSW Music Festival (March 11-16) in Austin, Texas. Their names were on the lineup when the third round of artists was announced on January 7.

SXSW consists of a series of film, interactive and music festivals and conferences, and is the largest music festival of its kind. It looks like James Minor, the general manager of the SXSW Music Festival, thought that HyunA would be a good fit after appearing with PSY in the megahit “Gangnam Style.”

The festival includes not just American artists, but also artists and musicians from all over the world, coming together in a showcase-style music festival. Music lovers will get the chance to see over big names and relative unknowns perform at venues throughout the city.


This showcase looks like it’ll be HyunA’s first foray into the overseas market. HyunA appeared in PSY’s “Gangnam Style” music video and received the attention of music fans abroad. “Gangnam Style,” released in July 2012, has been viewed over 1.8 billion times to date. The amount of exposure she’s received on the international front has definitely helped.

Aside from her activities with 4Minute, HyunA’s been able to show a more sexy performance through her solo activities (“Bubble Pop” and “Ice Cream”) and her duo unit Troublemaker with Beast’s Hyunseung (“Now”). She made Billboard’s “21 Under 21: Music’s Hottest Minors 2011,” was also on a nominee on Billboard’s 2012 survey, “Justin Bieber: Who Should Be His New Girlfriend?” She has also met Scooter Braun, who represents PSY in America, and they discussed expansion into America.

Besides HyunA, other notable Korean acts on the lineup include Jay Park, Crying Nut, Idiotape, Jang Gi Ha and the Faces, Nell, No Brain, YB and Glen Check, a total of 15 from Korea.

They so won't be together, but I would so be down for a Crying Nut, No Brain and Nell triple header. (Then again, No Brain & Gukkasten played the same show as f(x), so who knows. Not that I can afford to go to SXSW anyway *sigh*)

what will hyuna do, though? doesn't she only have the two solo title songs? unless she's going to do 4minute or troublemaker songs by herself...

she have 3. ice cream, bubble pop and change. and for so many acts, 3 songs are more than enough, imo.

does that means you think its too much?
but you talked about how she only has "two songs" and "what would she sing" but now three would be too much?
you know what nvm my english sucks so i think i wont understand properly what youre saying lol sorry for the mess

Clearly you misunderstand me. "a long way to go for a ten minute set" doesn't mean that two is not enough or three is too much. It literally means that that is a long way to travel for 10 minutes of singing. I don't know where you're getting the idea that three songs are too much, there's nothing in my comment that implies that in the slightest.

If she was performing for an hour, that would be another thing, and at that point I would wonder what she would perform to fill in that time. I guess we'll find out when the times/her set list comes out. Maybe she'll do half an hour.

Obviously her management thinks it's worth it, but again, that's nearly 7,000 miles and a 14 hour flight, and at some point you have to measure the benefit versus the sheer difficulty of getting there.

From: [identity profile] ashiva.livejournal.com
Since she has performed shortened versions of her non-title tracks when doing her comebacks I doubt it will be that hard for her to perform the full versions of those songs.

Why couldn't it have been a week later??? :( My Spring Break is literally one week after this and I would kill to go. Maybe I'll just cut class on the day that Hyuna will be there; I'll have to figure out the logistics

Does anyone know how to get into these shows without a general festival pass? I don't think you needed one last time FX came and I really don't think you need one to get into ALL the shows. Google isn't helping me at all.

My sister never paid for passes when she went. She and her friends told security at the back entrance of the bars that they were managers,producers,stylists etc.

Wow - and they let them in with no credentials and without checking a list? That's amazing!

Just wondering do you think your sister is going to do the same this year? My friend and I wanna go but we don't want to spend an arm and leg to just see just Jay Park lol do think you can ask her how she did it pretty much like any tips to get in? Sorry if this is a little crazy was just curious if she was dressed a certain way or anything.

If you go early enough in the day you can usually get in, it's the after-parties that are hard to get into at SXSW.

If you don't buy a badge, SXSW sells wristbands for Austin residents (credit card zip code has to match) at $169 a pop to allow access to all the music shows. If you know someone in Austin, they are allowed to get one for one friend outside the city but they must provide the name of the friend at purchase time to prevent scalping. The badges get in before the wristbands, so the wristband does not guarantee entrance if the venue is full of people with badges. If the venue isn't full of people with either, they let people who have lined up to get in pay at the door for admission - whatever the venue charges.

When f(x) played they were the last act of seven at the showcase and each was allotted a 40 min set. They played at Elysium (21+), capacity 500.

As [livejournal.com profile] fiercediva said there is the wristband option. It's not needed to get in but it helps. For the showcase last year doors opened around 6:30 I think, I got there a little after. They were only letting in badges and wristbands until about 7:00 and then they let in general admission. I had a wristband last year, so I walked right in and was against the stage for the whole show until F(x) came out and security made a barrier. If you don't care to be right up front, you may have luck just doing general admission.

It costs $20 to get into a SXSW venue without a badge or wristband, but you need to get there early (most venues open at 7), regardless of the set time, in case they get to capacity (or close to capacity). It's badge line > wristband line > cash line everywhere, so if they have enough of the first two they won't let anyone just with cash, but I don't think any of these people are so outrageously popular that you wouldn't be able to swing it.

I wish I can attend and stanning Nell, No Brain & Kiha & The Faces~

SXSW's lineup is always great! A lot of my favorite indie bands have performed there.
I want Coachella to bring BB/2ne1 so bad since it's the only festival I'm able to attend. I would kill for tickets.
