If you haven’t yet heard of one of the biggest music events of the year, then pack your bags and get ready to head down to Houston, Texas for the South by Southwest (SXSW) event! This event is a collection of the best film, interactive, and music festival, and it’s being held in March of next year. And what’s sure to make this year’s festival one of the biggest ones yet is that Dave Grohl is going to be the keynote speaker!

Dave Grohl is perhaps best known as being the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, but this is a man with loads of credentials behind his name. He was the drummer for Nirvana on one of their biggest albums, “Nevermind,” and he’s also taken his place behind the drums when playing with Tom Petty. It was only after these accomplishments that he moved onto the Foo Fighters, and with them won 11 Grammy Awards. He’s also collaborated with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, and Elton John, to name just a few. Certainly sounds like someone who’s qualified to speak as keynote speaker at SXSW!

The Dave Grohl keynote will be open to any registrants who have signed up under the Music and Platinum package, as well as registered showcasing artists. This event, along with everything else that goes on at SXSW, is a great chance for networking, career-building, and of course, stage after stage of music to entertain those who attend the conference.

The keynote will take place on March 14, 2013; but the entire conference runs from March 12, 2013 to March 17,2 013 at the Austin Convention Center in Texas. This event is wildly popular, and spaces won’t last for very long, so make sure you register today!
