THE TWO LIPS
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, the indie pop duo The Two Lips consists of friends Jewlz and Andrea.

Now signed to Island Records, the duo released their EP, girl c’mon!, on November 7, 2025. Catch their ethereal pop stylings at the SXSW Stage on Friday from 4-4:45 p.m.
BETWEEN FRIENDS
Siblings Brandon and Savannah Hudson formed BETWEEN FRIENDS in 2017 and have since surpassed 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The duo’s latest record, WOW!, was released in the summer of 2025 and expands on the group’s discography of experimental pop. Each new track is different from the last, keeping the listener on their toes in true BETWEEN FRIENDS fashion. Watch their dynamic synergy live on the SXSW Stage on Friday from 5:45-6:30 p.m.
