boygenius Play SXSW Show at Austin Airport Baggage Claim

Some lucky boygenius fans who flew into Austin today (March 14th) and happened to stop by the baggage claim area were greeted with a surprise show as part of the official SXSW festivities.

The indie supergroup of Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and Phoebe Bridgers played an acoustic set at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport sometime in the mid-afternoon, and you can check out some footage below.

If you happen to be in Austin this weekend, be sure to stop by Consequence’s Brooklyn Bowl Family Reunion on Saturday, March 18th. Low Cut Connie, Thee Sacred Souls, Ron Gallo, The Nude Party, and Sunflower Bean are among the featured acts. See the full lineup here, and be sure to RSVP at the official website.

Earlier this month, boygenius played the annual Tibet House US benefit at Carnegie Hall, during which they debuted a new song called “Cool About It.” The trio will drop their first full-length, the record, on March 31st. It features the most recent preview “Not Strong Enough” — which we named Song of the Week — and previous singles “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry,” and “True Blue.”

In support of the record, boygenius will play Coachella ahead of their headlining dates on the Re:SET Concert Series. Bridgers will also serve as an opener on several dates of Taylor Swift’s “The Eras” tour; grab your tickets here.

Nbd, just a casual surprise boygenius concert at the Austin airport for SXSW…
