Thousands Brave Cold for Mau P's SXSW Set
16 Mar
Summary
- The show moved venues due to strong winds at SXSW.
- Thousands of fans waited in cold for the relocated event.
- Mau P delivered a high-energy, danceable set as headliner.
As strong winds disrupted SXSW 2026 in Austin, Texas on March 15, outdoor events were cancelled, including Mau P's performance at Billboard Presents THE STAGE. The show was relocated to The Concourse Project, transitioning from a ticketed event to a free, first-come, first-served experience.
By 6:13 p.m., fans were already lining up, with thousands ultimately filling the venue after doors opened at 9:00 p.m. Austin Ashtin and Apex Martin opened the show with their distinct productions before Mau P took the stage at midnight.
Despite the previous night's performances, Mau P displayed immense energy, captivating the crowd with his signature funky and danceable sound. He played a two-hour set featuring hits like 'Drugs From Amsterdam' and 'Tesla,' alongside remixes and edits of popular tracks, creating a night of shared bliss and energetic dancing.
