K.O has just been announced as one of the artists who will perform at the South by Southwest (SXSW) 2016 conference and music festival in Austin, Texas.

Mr Cashtime, who was recently snubbed at the Metro FM Music Awards, was named among the 550 musicians from around the world to feature at the US festival 

So far he is the only South African to make the list, but #SXSW2016 is expected to announce more artists over the next few weeks, so fingers crossed for our local talent. 

The six-day music festival is taking place in March, with K.O set to perform on the 19th. 

The festival is celebrating 30 years in 2016, and is sure to be bigger than ever!
