According to EXCLAIM MAGAZINE (CANADA), promoters for the annual SXSW FESTIVAL 2017 have stated, due to radius clauses, artists that play "unofficial" shows in the Austin, Texas area could be deported.
Members of recording artists TOLD SLANT and BELLOWS shared their booking contracts on TWITTER as international artists could be "deported" if they performed shows not sanctioned by SXSW.
TOLD SLANT will not be performing at the 2017 SXSW, set to take place 3/10 through 19, 2017 at various venues, AUSTIN, TEXAS.
