Masked Americana outlaw Orville Peck and stomp-clap pioneers the Lumineers are making their way to Austin to perform during South by Southwest at free, limited-capacity concerts sponsored by California-based electric car company, and headlining sponsor, Rivian. Registration for both concerts is now open on a first-come, first-served basis.

Auditorium Shores has its hands full with Coca-Cola’s separately ticketed Sips & Sounds this year, scooting SXSW’s annual community concert series inland. 

“Dead of Night” crooner Orville Peck will perform his soulful take on country ballads at Rivian’s 800 Congress pop-up stage on Saturday, March 14, at 7pm. 

The “Ho Hey” singers will bring their upbeat folk-rock to Moody Amphitheater on Monday, March 16, at 7:30pm. A year after their fifth studio album release, Automatic, the Americana-inspired band will present a family-friendly showcase to launch Rivian’s latest electric SUV, the R2. 

Registration is now open for Orville Peck’s March 14 performance here, and for the Lumineers’ March 16 concert here.
