South by Southwest Stake Is Sold to Owner of Rolling Stone

SXSW

Wall Street Journal:

Penske Media Corp., the publisher of magazines like Rolling Stone, Billboard and Variety, agreed to acquire a 50% stake in South by Southwest, the famed tech, music and movie festival, people familiar with the matter said.

The Texas festival, one of the largest and best known in the U.S., was dealt a severe financial blow last March after being canceled at the last minute by Austin city officials because of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

Organizers said at that time that their insurance policies didn’t cover cancellation because of a pandemic. They believed the cancellation would cost them millions, raising questions about the future of the festival, which is also known as SXSW or simply “Southby.” Last spring, SXSW laid off a third of its 175 year-round employees.
