The news comes after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order banning COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Pitchfork has reached out to SXSW for comment about how Abbott’s executive order will impact next year’s festival.
SXSW held an online festival in 2021 after canceling the 2020 event due to COVID-19. The festival has reached a preliminary settlement in a class action lawsuit over 2020 ticket refunds. SXSW has also sued their insurance company for settlement and legal fees.
