Current GRAMMY nominees The National will be returning home to Cincinnati late this April, following a long tour in support of their latest album Sleep Well Beast, for which they hope to win a GRAMMY for Best Alternative Music Album at the 60th GRAMMY Awards on Jan. 28.

To mark the occasion, The National have planned a special two-day event – aptly titled Homecoming –which will serve as an offshoot of guitarist Bryce Dessner's well established three-day indie/eclectic artist amplification festival MusicNow, occurring over the same weekend.

A post shared by The National Homecoming (@ntlhomecoming)

While MusicNow, much like Austin's annual South By Southwest, will take place "before, during, after, and around Homecoming" at a variety of venues around the city over the course of its three-day run, Homecoming itself will take place all within the confines of Cincinnati's Smale Park. The National will play two unique sets over the two nights of the festival, and they will be supported by fellow 60th GRAMMY nominee Father John Misty, as well as Feist, Future Islands, The Breeders, Lord Huron, Julien Baker, Moses Sumney, Alvvays, and Big Thief, with more performers still to be announced.

Currently on the lineup for MusicNow are Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Mouse On Mars, Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, Crash Ensemble, and Eighth Blackbird, with more announcements forthcoming.

The National's Homecoming festival will take place on Apr. 28-29, with MusicNow kicking off a day earlier on Apr. 27. Ticket information for both events will be announced in early February. More information can be found on the official Homecoming website.

May 1, 2018 - 4:10 pm

GRAMMY winners Childish Gambino,  Paul McCartney and Metallica lead the headliner lineup for this fall's Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park, which will take place over the weekends of Oct. 5–7 and 12–14.

Announced on May 1, this year's lineup also features 60th GRAMMY Awards winners The National and Residente, who shares the lead on the list of the top Latin GRAMMY Award winners of all time.

The Recording Academy was on-site for ACL 2017  — based on last year, festivalgoers this fall are sure to be grateful for the incredible musical selection. Other GRAMMY winners set to perform at the 2018 installment are David Byrne, Justice and St. Vincent. Recently, St. Vincent gave the Crystals' classic "Then He Kissed Me" a same-sex twist for the LGBTQ-affirmative album Universal Love — Wedding Songs Reimagined, in the form of "And Then She Kissed Me."

SXSW 2018: Fader Fort Will Host Soccer Mommy, SOB X RBE, Debut New Location

One of the premiere events at South By Southwest has announced its official lineup for 2018

South By Southwest is so close we can taste it, and that means it's time for the event lineups to start rolling in. Who will make a splash this year? Which acts will take that crucial step from hanging on the verge of fame and walk out into the spotlight?

Long known as one of the premiere events to see new acts break at SXSW, FADER magazine's three-day "Fader Fort" concert series has now revealed its 2018 lineup. It's packed with some names we've had our eyes and ears tuned towards lately, namely Soccer Mommy, SOB x RBE, Mozzy, Now Now, YBN Nahmir, and BbyMutha, with more acts still to be announced.

Soccer Mommy is the band project of 20 year-old Nashville songwriter Sophie Allison – a tight-knit four-piece whose sound belies their young age. Allison began playing music at the age of six, but largely kept her songwriting and recording a secret from her local friend group, choosing instead to release her songs online without publicizing them. As she got older, however, the recordings on her Bandcamp page caught an organic buzz that led to bookings for live gigs, eventually landing Allison a record deal the summer after she graduated from high school.

SOB x RBE meanwhile, have been riding a rocket all through the first quarter of 2018, thanks largely to their fantastic contribution to the No. 1 charting Kendrick Lamar-curated and produced Black Panther: The Album. Their track "Paramedic!" has managed to become one of the standout tracks on a soundtrack album packed wall-to-wall with hits. As a follow-up to their success as part of Black Panther: The Album, SOB x RBE were next tapped to join the lineup for Post Malone's huge 45-date summer world tour alongside 21 Savage, which kicks off next month on with a two-weekend stint at Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival. Tickets for the tour are still available; purchase links and additional show date details can be found on Post Malone's website.

Announcing The FADER FORT 2018. https://t.co/nEbXVWpeha pic.twitter.com/6tTIWkWSWz

— The FADER (@thefader) March 6, 2018

Playing the Fader Fort at SXSW has proven to be a crucial step in the careers of some of today's biggest acts. Over the past 16 years has played host to the breakthrough moments for acts such as Odd Future (introducing the world to Tyler, The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and Frank Ocean, et al.), Kid Cudi and Amy Winehouse, meaning that its annual presence at SXSW is always a hotspot of activity for brand ambassadors, artist managers and industry reps of all kinds who are in Austin looking for the Next Big Thing.  The first 15 years of the Fader Fort will soon be documented in a new book called FADER FORT: Setting The Stage, which FADER will premiere at this year's event.

For its 17th annual installment, the Fader Fort has once again changed venues, moving up the street to 1501 East 7th St. in Austin, a joint indoor-outdoor space just three blocks from last year's venue.

"We wanted a little more space to be able to accommodate more fans at [the] Fort," explained FADER president and publisher Andy Cohn about the decision to change venues for the third time in three years. "We also wanted to enhance the experiences for artists with a larger stage, but still maintain the special, intimate experience with great sound quality that Fort is known to provide."
