SXSW Sydney® announces The Kid LAROI as 2024 Music Keynote!

In partnership with the LAROI Foundation, SXSW Sydney is excited to reveal The Kid LAROI as the Music Keynote for 2024. 
‍

The keynote session, taking place at Darling Harbour Theatre on Saturday 19 October, will feature a long-ranging conversation with the 21-year-old about his future and a career that has taken him from Redfern to a billion-streaming global star. 

SXSW Sydney will also work with LAROI to host a range of professional development workshops and performance opportunities accessible to the First Nations community of  Waterloo and Redfern.

The Kid LAROI leads a mammoth SXSW Sydney lineup featuring some of the most exciting rising stars, breaking artists, and industry leaders from APAC and beyond.
