“We have come together to create a mobile content studio debuting during SXSW with plans to take it on the road to events and festivals across the nation,” said Ed Vincent, Founder of festivalPass. “We are also doubling down on local partnerships in Austin to bring dozens of local music acts to live stages, all of which will be announced soon.”
